It's not a motivation problem. It's an executive functioning problem.
And it's fixable.
Executive functioning coaching and community for parents of tweens and teens with ADHD or autism, from a BCBA and fellow ADHDer who has spent nearly 20 years in this work.
Does this sound familiar?
The homework takes 3 hours
It's a twenty-minute assignment. It's now 9 p.m., somebody is crying (possibly you), and dinner was cereal.
Done, but never turned in
The work is finished. It's in the backpack somewhere, in a state of crumpled mystery.
Brilliant at everything except the doing
They can explain every detail of the game they love but cannot start the one-page essay.
The chart on the fridge
Stickers, rewards, consequences. It worked for a week. Then it didn't.
Your kid isn't broken, and neither are you.
Executive functioning is the brain's management system: starting, planning, remembering, switching gears, handling frustration. In neurodivergent brains this works differently, and it often develops later than expected. Pushing harder doesn't speed it up, but the right supports do.

MEET THE FOUNDER
Hey, I'm Rachael!
I'm a board-certified behavior analyst, a certified ADHD coach, and a fellow ADHDer. I've spent nearly 20 years working with kids, teens, and the adults who love them. I take the science seriously. I take myself less seriously.
I don't do compliance training. Neurodivergent brains need accommodation, not more pressure, and I'll tell you the truth even when it isn't the quick fix you were hoping for.

Questions parents often ask
Who is coaching for, me or my teen?
Both. I coach parents and I coach teens. We'll figure out the right setup on your free call.
My kid doesn't want to be coached. Now what?
That's common and it isn't a dealbreaker. Forcing a teen to participate rarely goes well. We can start with you, or with a lower-pressure first step, and bring your teen in when it makes sense.
What is ADHD coaching and is it therapy?
No, and it doesn't replace therapy. Coaching is a practical and forward-looking. We name what's getting in the way, build systems that fit your brain (or your kid's), and practice them in real life.
How are the sessions conducted?
Online, over Zoom, so it works wherever you live.
What commitment is required?
Regular attendance, openness to trying new things, and a willingness to use the strategies between sessions. Packages run one, three, or six months.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the package you choose and how long it runs. You'll find details on the Coaching page, or ask me on a free call!
How do I know it's working?
You'll see it in what changes: more clarity, more confidence, and real progress on the goals we set together. We check in regularly and adjust the plan as we go, so nobody is guessing.
How do I get started?
Book a free call. We'll talk through what's going on and decide together whether coaching is a fit.
Ready to stop guessing?
Start with the free checklist, or book a call and we'll talk about what's going on.
