Academic Success Coaching for Neurodiverse Students
We offer a wide range of services designed to support and empower students in their educational journey. Our primary goal is to help students develop essential skills, strategies, and mindsets that will enable them to thrive academically and reach their full potential. Here are some of the services we provide:
Goal Setting and Planning: We work closely with students to identify their academic aspirations and set realistic and achievable goals. Together, we create personalized action plans to outline the necessary steps, resources, and timelines required to meet those goals.
Study Skills Development: We assist students in developing effective study habits and techniques tailored to their unique learning styles. This includes time management, organization, note-taking strategies, active reading methods, exam preparation, and stress management techniques. Helping with executive functioning, including self-awareness, inhibition, sensory and spatial memory, speech and language memory, emotional regulation, motivational regulation, planning, and problem-solving.
Academic Performance Evaluation: We analyze students' academic performance, including their grades, assignments, and feedback from instructors. By assessing their strengths and areas for improvement, we provide valuable insights and recommendations for enhancing their overall performance.
Motivation and Confidence Building: We understand that students may face challenges that can impact their motivation and confidence. Through regular coaching sessions, we offer encouragement, help students overcome obstacles, and foster a positive mindset to enhance their self-belief and resilience.
Academic Resource Navigation: Navigating the vast array of academic resources can be overwhelming. We guide students in accessing relevant materials such as research databases, online libraries, and academic support services offered by their institution.
Exam and Test Preparation: We help students develop effective strategies for exam preparation, including creating study plans, practicing test-taking techniques, and managing test anxiety. We also offer guidance on how to review and analyze exam results for continuous improvement.
Career and Academic Advising: We provide guidance on choosing majors, selecting courses, and exploring career paths aligned with students' interests and aspirations. We offer information on internships, research opportunities, and graduate school applications, helping students make informed decisions about their academic and professional futures.
Throughout the coaching process, we maintain a supportive and non-judgmental environment where students feel comfortable discussing their challenges and seeking guidance. Our ultimate aim is to empower students to become independent, self-directed learners who can thrive academically and beyond.
We start with a free initial consultation, followed by an intake process of gathering and analyzing the student's information. Once that is complete, a report is reviewed with the student and parents, and a roadmap for success is produced. Weekly sessions both guide and empower independence and academic success.
