Executive Function · ADHD · Academic Skills

YOUR CHILD ISN'T THE PROBLEM.
THE SYSTEM IS.

If bright, capable days keep unraveling into lost worksheets, missed deadlines, and nightly homework battles — the missing piece is executive function. I work with parents to turn that gap into a plan your family can actually live with.

Sound familiar?

Three things parents tell me when they arrive.

01

Smart child, stuck at schoolwork

Your child understands the material — but assignments stall, bags stay unsorted, and the report card doesn't reflect their ability.

02

Every evening becomes a negotiation

Reminders, consequences, and color-coded planners haven't moved the needle. You're carrying the executive function for the whole household.

03

ADHD support that stops at the diagnosis

You've been told what your child has — not what to do differently on Monday morning. You're looking for the person who turns it into a workable plan.

The path forward

From daily friction to a system that holds.

See the real bottleneck

We look past 'not trying hard enough' to the specific decision-making and follow-through skills underneath the struggle.

Build the workable system

Together we design routines, tools, and checklists your child can actually run — sized to their attention, not an idealized version of it.

Hand you the reins

You stop being the family's reminder service. The system holds the structure, and you hold the relationship.

"For the first time, someone explained my son's behavior in a way that made me stop blaming him — and myself. The plan actually fit our life."
— Parent of a middle schooler
"We left with three things we could do that week. Not a lecture. Not a report. A plan."
— Parent of a fifth grader with ADHD

2-minute check

Is the Skills Lab the right next step for your family?

Ten questions, about two minutes. Your answers point to the starting place that fits your child — the Skills Lab, or a one-to-one conversation first.

01How does homework typically end at your house?
02When your child has work to do, how does it get started?
03What happens between the backpack and the desk?
04How does your child handle time — deadlines, estimates, deadlines that come 'later'?
05How do long-term projects go?
06What have you already tried at home?
07What do teachers tend to report?
08How does your child talk about themselves as a student?
09How much are you personally carrying to make the system run?
10Does your child have a formal school plan (IEP or 504) in place?

Parent intake

A few short questions about your child and your routines — so your first conversation starts with real context, not paperwork.

Shared only with Samia, and used to prepare for your conversation — never shared further.
