Consultants for Children

Our mission is to provide the best possible treatment plan for children diagnosed with Autism and/or other developmental disabilities by providing comprehensive consulting services to both parents and schools. CFCI was developed to educate parents and schools to work effectively with these children, keeping the child’s best interest in mind. We strive to put the needs of the individual child and their families first, rather than any particular teaching method or philosophy. We feel that not doing so results in programs that are inadequate and overall ineffective. With our experience and extensive knowledge, and with the variety of treatment options available, we believe we can not only help children progress, but give hope back to their families.

Cognitive training is a system of highly targeted exercises used to change your brain’s capacity to think and learn. Science has proven that brain training can strengthen learning and reading skills, and even increase IQ. Unlike tutoring, LearningRx works on the brain’s ability to take in, process and deliver information, even when recovering from trauma. LearningRx can help a victim of TBI recover their independence and quality of life by treating the cause of struggles resulting from TBI, such as difficulty thinking, memory problems, mood swings and frustration, attention difficulties and loss of speed. LearningRx can help students achieve twice the results in half the time and cost; results are permanent and guaranteed.

Owl Education Group

Dysexecutive Syndrome, or deficiencies in Executive Functioning Skills, are the invisible disability, often leaving children and adolescents frustrated, unmotivated, and without hope. As an Executive Functioning Coach, I work with children and adolescents on developing skills to become effective learners and provide tools for independently managing working memory, reasoning, task flexibility, problem solving, emotional/behavioral regulation, planning and execution. We don't use check lists and we don't organize your binders; clients are given intake testing in order to drive an individualized, goal based program with frequent progress monitoring. Students are observed in their school and home setting. Training occurs in an office setting, following mastery, skills are then generalized to the school and home, gradually leading to the independent execution of skills. The aim of Executive Functioning Coaching is to empower the client by providing them internalized competency in problem solving. In addition, coaching provides tools to families and school staff, in order to develop a partnership for success across settings.

The Working Well

The Working Well helps mission-driven organizations improve their productivity and retention by teaching managers leadership skills, communications techniques, and how to embrace neurodiversity in their teams.

Many organizations struggle (especially since the pandemic) with creating a culture of inclusion and loyalty. This can lead to hiring & retention struggles, unmet financial goals and an inability to effectively focus on the company’s mission.

Through my masters in Organizational Leadership, bachelors in Psychology, years of teaching yoga and mindfulness, and my personal neurodiversity experience, I bring a fresh perspective to helping these organizations acquire the skills needed to drive a healthy, thriving company culture.

The organization I can best help is: - Mission-driven: they care deeply about creating a better community and world around them. - Committed to professional growth, collaborative team culture, and organizational change. - Feeling they spend excess time and money (re)hiring and onboarding new employees. - Might experience strained and uncomfortable communication with their team. - Located anywhere in the U.S.; I can work with organizations locally and nationally.

Here are some of the specific ways that I helps companies improve their productivity and retention: - Showing leaders how to foster loyalty and self-responsibility to build teams that are just as committed to the company mission as management is. This reduces the financial burden of continually replacing employees and allows companies to more efficiently meet their goals. - Teaching managers key leadership and communication skills so they can stop micromanaging and start leading, freeing them up for larger projects and making the workplace more harmonious. - Giving all team members the skills to create a culture of collaboration, inclusion, and ownership where every employee feels valued and empowered to contribute in their own unique way. - Teaching managers how to understand and embrace neurodiversity in their team members, and how to utilize this untapped resource to make teams even stronger. - Providing skills and tools to reduce workplace stress so teams are more grounded, organized and productive.

Untapped Learning

Untapped Learning (previously Stride Learning) is an education startup that helps middle school, high school, and college students develop their executive function skills. We focus on improving organization, managing time, building routines, and more.

In one-on-one, weekly sessions, our mentors help students look through their portals and teacher websites to make a comprehensive plan for all upcoming schoolwork. In this plan, we break down big assignments into small, manageable tasks. Having a schedule to follow holds students accountable. So much can happen between sessions, so our mentors check in with their students throughout the week with texts and calls.

We know our mentoring program can be beneficial to students recovering from brain injuries; their executive function skills are often impaired post-TBI. We offer this support and accountability to help students succeed academically — despite their setbacks.

Warrior’s Way LLC

The Warrior’s Way is a program to assist you in building your personal power, confidence, worthiness, and living life as a never ending adventure. The Warrior’s Way is based on living with honor, integrity, compassion, and assuming self-responsibility. This is done via one/one consulting or group classes.
This is accomplished by choosing to realize your worth, being comfortable in your skin, understanding and realizing your truth. and loving yourself. The Warrior’s Way is an attitude rather than a solution. An attitude that you can find your own solutions that work for you. Realizing that what works for you isn’t necessarily what works for everyone else. Having the courage to know and live your truth. Having the humility to admit when you need help and accepting that help when offered by others.
I also have an entrepreneurial spirit and consult on setting up a new business, writing a business plan, presentations to investors, etc.

We Connect Now

Our Mission – We Connect Now is dedicated to uniting people interested in rights and issues affecting people with disabilities, with particular emphasis on college students and access to higher education and employment issues.

One of the goals of this site is to help college students with disabilities to succeed in their studies by getting the information and support they need, both through resources, links, blogs latest news, studying existing laws and regulation and through personal contacts. Through this website people can also share and read other people’s stories as a source of support and comfort. We also want people using our webpage to take action by writing blogs, hosting an event or becoming involved in politics by knowing about upcoming legislation. Also, every month our webpage will focus on a particular disability or condition to bring our visitors more information and support related to our focus of the month. Through our jobs section, we also hope to help empower people with disabilities find employment through job posting and job searching tips, and if people have any questions we encourage them to contact us. The goal of this site is that people leave it having gained knowledge, a support system and having taken action.
