Academic Coaching Combats Learning Differences in Moraga CA

Diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), ADHD, and other disabilities such as Executive Functioning Disorder, Asperger’s, and the Autism Spectrum Disorders seem to be on the rise in both children and adults. Students suffering from these learning disabilities struggle daily with attention span, the ability to focus, and almost maddening frustration; all of which can make seemingly simple tasks like turning in homework assignments or studying for an exam near impossible.

Moraga students with learning disabilities should achieve their goals.  We want to help.

Many of these students are actually incredibly bright and even gifted. In truth they do not lack the ability to complete these assignments; rather they do not have the time management, cognitive skills, and emotional control required for completing these tasks. Organization, time management, study skills, and goal setting are all skills that can lessen the burden of these learning disorders and make living with them more manageable. Academic coaching is the process of learning these seemingly-obvious yet often overlooked skills.

Despite Moraga’s proximity to metropolitan San Francisco, those struggling with learning differences or disabilities need not venture across the Bay Bridge for top-of-the-line academic coaching.
