  • How does academic coaching work?
    In order to shape the coaching sessions, we begin with a one-hour parent consultation during which we review previous assessments and interventions, obstacles, discuss academic history and parent /learner concerns. Relevant long and short-term goals and strategies are established. We recommend an initial 6 hour commitment in order to better foster new and more productive behaviors. Classes can be scheduled once per week and will involve problem-solving, critical thinking and self advocacy coaching. Follow-up parent meetings will review goals and interventions and create a path forward.
