ADHD… and thriving

  • Consistent feedback, positive reinforcement, and flexibility are all hallmarks of my sessions, which are tailored to your child’s individual learning needs. We switch learning styles regularly during each session to sustain focus with visual aids, hands-on activities, and movement-based learning

  • We work together to find learning strategies that suit the way your child’s brain processes information 

  • We learn what ADHD is and how your child can ‘own’ their diagnosis 

  • We explore executive function coaching when approaching academic or life tasks

  • We cover making sense of instructions and how to break down tasks into smaller, manageable steps

  • We cover study skill strategies such as use of different styles of graphic organiser for recording written information

  • We learn kinaesthetic and colour-based proofreading strategies

  • Mind mapping and word cloud techniques can be used to support working memory during tasks

  • We spend time each lesson on ‘metacognition’; developing awareness of how your child learns best and how the ADHD brain processes information differently from the typical brain

  • We cover strategies for dealing with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and other challenging social aspects of ADHD

Most ADHD learners are experts in coming up with their own strategies! My sessions can help your child to use those strategies to their full advantage.
