As the school year comes to an end, I wanted to express my gratitude for your hard work and dedication. You have been working in very difficult circumstances, and the very least we can do is thank you. As a thank you, I want to provide you with some information and resources, and I’d
like to introduce myself. (click here to skip to links)
I am an ADHD coach and consultant, who helps individuals with ADHD overcome barriers. I support students as well as their families and/or caregivers. When we meet, I help them understand how and ADHD brain works. Then, we work together and design solutions for the problems they face at school and at home. Recently I have been doing this through webinars, speaking events, and family sessions.
I strive to create a bridge of understanding between a student and their teachers. To gain a better understanding of how a student is functioning at school, I can do classroom visits and observations. Through my observations and collaboration with the student and the teacher, we design ADHD-specific strategies that will help the student thrive.
I would like to support you and your students in any way that I can.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all.
Sincerely,
Michelle Rolls ADHD Coach – How ADHD Rolls
