My new favorite podcast

After my son’s autism and ADHD diagnosis, our psychologist shared a couple of episodes of this podcast with us. It has now become one of my top 3 podcasts. I started tutoring other kids in math when I was 16. I had the firm conviction that all students could learn math but needed it presented in a different way. I tutored for over a decade and then became a TA in grad school. Stephanie and Rachel share so much info that I wish I knew then and appreciate knowing now in my role as a mom and as a trainer/educator at work.

Highly Recommend

I was referred to Stephanie’s business by a psychologist and, while signing my child up to become a client, I found this podcast. I have been listening to the episodes back to back and they are such a wealth of information on a wide variety of interrelated subjects. They have already helped me so much and I still have many that I haven’t been able to listen to yet, but am looking forward to them. They are easy to listen to and very relatable. Thank you so much for providing such thorough and thoughtful content!

If you work with students, this podcast is a must!

Stephanie and Rachel are knowledgeable professionals. Through their podcast, they generously share their expertise with parents and educators. As a Special Ed teacher, I find their presentations super helpful: I learned strategies and tools that help me to become a more effective teacher when working with my students with ADHD and other exceptionalities.
