 Executive Function Expert
 
 

Sarah is an educator and author who specializes in developing executive function skills in teens and tweens. She wrote her first book, Everyone Has Something, to empower different learners everywhere to embrace their journeys and reframe their struggles in a positive light! She's worked with students with a range of disabilities for over 15 years and shares her insights, research, and even  mistakes by writing for educational media like KQED and Edutopia.

When she discovered that most of her students were failing because they were lacking skills, not intelligence, she began to innovate lessons and coaching sessions to fill the executive function gaps and catch kids up! After years of hearing from colleagues and parents that these strategies had profound positive impacts, she wondered how she could share these ideas and help even more students! Through her podcast, courses, and coaching, she now helps parents, educators, and therapists who are struggling to support smart kids with invisible missing skills.
