Miss Kelly helped us understand how the ADHD brain works. She provided us with clear, actionable steps and encouragement during a challenging time. Our biggest takeaway from Miss Kelly has been how helpful it is to have a trusted adult (outside of the parents) who can help navigate executive functioning issues with a teen. We would recommend her because she is skilled at being an ally to both the parents and child.
Miss Kelly helped us understand how the ADHD brain works, how executive functioning can improve by practicing specific tools, how to manage our emotions about our child’s diagnosis, and how important emotional regulation is within the family unit. She provided us with clear, actionable steps, encouragement during a challenging time, and clarity during confusion. We understand how to support our son with tools and encouragement Kelly has given our family. We also now understand as parents we play a big part managing our own responses to challenging behavior and how that affects our son. Kelly is a world of knowledge and support! Everything we have thrown Kelly’s way she has had a response and solution for which has been quite comforting! Our son adapted to Kelly quickly, who now adores Kelly, responds well to her, and has shown improvement we can clearly see due to their relationship. Kelly is a gem to have at your side as a coach and friend for both our son and ourselves as parents. Her expertise in the field of special needs and behavior regulation is highly valuable!
We can’t thank Kelly enough for the help that she’s given to our son/grandson. Since his time speaking with Kelly, he has implemented what he has learned and his communication has already started to improve & increase in just 3 sessions together. Kelly is encouraging, patient, and kind. Our grandson had nothing but positive things to say about her and their conversations. He is currently planning time with his family to achieve his goals and has an excitement around doing so which is a great thing to witness. Where he once was timid and lacking in communication, he is now participating in group conversations, voicing his opinions, even eagerly speaking of future plans. Slowly but surely we see glimpses of him coming out of his shell. If you’re considering working with Kelly, we can’t urge you enough to take the leap and make the call! We’re immensely grateful.
