Mission
Our mission is to partner with students with ADHD and/or executive functioning challenges to rebuild their relationship with learning.
Vision
Our vision is a world where all students love learning. There, students would also have increased self-advocacy and self-confidence and look excitedly toward their future.
Company Values
Love - To rebuild student relationships with learning, we nurture a love of learning.
Students first - Our students are our priority. When we make decisions or recommendations, we keep our students’ interests front and center.
Gentleness - When communicating, we are gentle, forgiving, and kind; we remember that we are all humans with our own unique strengths, suffering, and dreams.
Care for others - Our motivation to do this work comes from a genuine care for others and a desire to help others succeed.
Inclusion - We do not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status or other factors. We address students and families as they wish to be addressed.
Integrity - We are forthright with our clients and follow through with what we agree to do.
Thoughtfulness - In sessions, our experts both listen closely to students and look at the bigger picture. This means that they also consider the student’s physical environment and social context, and interview teachers, family members, and other adults in the student’s life to learn more about the student. This thoughtfulness allows our team members to most effectively teach, coach, and make recommendations.
Professionalism - We’re a small company that acts like a big company; our clients can not only expect things like expert customer service, a well-thought out on-boarding process, and deep team member expertise, but also a very personalized and warm touch.
