Parent Coaching for Executive Function Challenges: Supporting Families with ADHD & Autism

Empowering Parents to Navigate Neurodiversity with Confidence

Mornings feel like meltdowns waiting to happen. Homework turns into power struggles. And sometimes, screens feel like the only thing that keeps the peace.
Your child doesn’t stop talking—and you feel overstimulated, and on edge before the day even begins.
You’ve stuck to the same morning/evening routine for months, but they still look at you like it’s the first time they’ve heard it.
They stem constantly. They forget what you just said. They need movement, redirection, and reminders—over and over.
You’ve built systems that kind of work at home, but the second you leave the house, everything unravels. You wonder if you’re doing enough. You carry the guilt from moments of frustration. And the constant worry about your child’s future—how they’ll manage in school, in friendships, in life—never really stops.

With neurodivergent parenting support, you’ll get tools that actually make sense for your child’s brain—and the real-life demands of your family.
We’ll work together to create routines that are flexible, not rigid… supportive, not exhausting.
You’ll gain practical strategies you can use both at home and at school—because what works in one environment needs to work in the other, too.

This isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what actually helps.

Let’s turn survival mode into something more sustainable.

You're constantly reminding your child to stay on task and you're feeling like a broken record.

Raising a neurodivergent child—whether they have ADHD, autism, or other executive functioning differences—can feel overwhelming. “Traditional” parenting approaches and reward-and-punishment systems don’t always work. Your child’s difficulties with attention, emotional regulation, and impulse control may make them more reactive than their peers. However, constant discipline without understanding their needs can worsen behavior and harm their self-esteem.

Why Working with Victoria Is Different

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, former Special Education Teacher, and certified ADHD Specialist, I bring a rare combination of expertise to parent coaching:

✅ 15+ years of hands-on experience supporting neurodivergent children in real-time environments—classrooms, therapy rooms, and homes
✅ Therapeutic understanding without offering therapy—you get the insight and structure of a trained clinician while keeping the work solution-focused and goal-oriented
✅ An honest, non-judgmental approach—I work with parents who feel defeated, frustrated, or guilty, and help you reset without shame
✅ Data-driven strategies—I’ll help you track patterns, measure changes, and adapt with intention

This isn’t generic parenting advice. It’s a personalized roadmap for raising a child whose brain doesn’t fit into traditional parenting models—and it starts with understanding, not discipline.

What is Parent Coaching?

Parent Coaching is a non-therapeutic, collaborative service that helps you understand your child’s executive function profile and teaches you how to shift your approach at home—without shame, fear, or constant corrections.

Instead of focusing on discipline and compliance, we focus on:
- Brain-based education for YOU as the parent
- Building routines that work for neurodivergent kids
- Strategies to reduce emotional outbursts and shutdowns
- Language that promotes collaboration, not conflict
- Practical tools for fostering flexibility, regulation, and independence

What You’ll Learn in Parent Coaching Sessions

💡 Why behavior charts, token systems, and consequences aren’t working — and what to do instead when your child “knows what to do but still doesn’t do it”

💡 How to build skill-based plans that address lagging executive function skills—not just behaviors—so your child can actually follow through

💡 How to create simple, repeatable systems for routines, transitions, and task completion that reduce nagging, meltdowns, and shutdowns

💡 How to scaffold tasks without micromanaging — offering just enough support to help your child succeed while building long-term independence

💡 How to shift from crisis management to proactive coaching — using brief, structured check-ins and real-time strategies to help your child self-regulate and problem-solve

💡 How to translate what works at home into school supports — including IEP/504-ready language and strategies that teachers can realistically implement

💡 How to feel more confident as a parent — even when your child is struggling, even when school feels impossible, even when nothing else has worked

You don’t have to navigate neurodivergent parenting alone.

With the right tools and support, your child can learn self-regulation, and your home can become a place of calm and connection. Let’s work together to make that happen.

Is This Therapy?

No. Parent coaching is a non-clinical service focused on skill-building, education, and structure. Coaching does not involve treatment or diagnosis and is not covered by insurance.
