Students diagnosed with ADHD struggle with a wide range of attention-related challenges, and they also have distinct strengths they can come to understand and embrace. We focus on helping students with ADHD better understand their unique brain wiring and see how it impacts different areas of their life. Having a better understanding of the variety of ways that ADHD influences their thinking and behavior can make students profoundly more confident and better able to adapt their learning environments to suit their needs. We help each student develop tools to sustain their focus and attention, improve task initiation and organization, reduce avoidance and procrastination, and work more methodically and consistently on long-term assignments. In addition to our individual work with students with ADHD, we also work with parents to help them better understand and effectively support their ADHD child at home.
“I’ve always been highly impressed by the rigor and cohesion of Eliza’s curriculum work. The units and lessons she designs are intellectual and engaging for her students, and highlight her instructional leadership. That’s just one reason I’ve been so pleased for Eliza to work as a coach with our aspiring teachers at Boston University.”
