    Full of amazing information
    My child was diagnosed with ADHD a while ago and this podcast has been an amazing source of information. It has helped us understand and find strategies so my child can be successful in school. Thank you!
  • Rinny235
    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.
  • ArtsAndHomes
    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!
  • SRQteacher
    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.

    This podcast has been such an amazing source of knowledgeable information as we navigate school & COVID-homeschool with our kids. I don’t know what I’d do without Rachel & Stephanie!
  • Followerofx
    Thank You!
    I love hearing your podcast on the way to work and applying what you share that same day with my students! Today it’s about my slow processors. I’d love more info on the colored timer but don’t see a link in the show notes. Thanks!

    Speaking Directly To Me!
    This last session was as if I was the only parent in the room. The content related directly to me and my child. Bravo!!! Well done.

    Love this podcast!
    Stephanie and Rachel do a fantastic job breaking down complicated (and sometimes emotional!) subjects into manageable pieces. Their strategies are helpful, accessible, and simple to implement.
  • krissavv
    A must listen!
    Listening to this podcast feels like your chatting over coffee with Rachel and Stephanie, but at the same time receiving priceless information about how to support your atypical learner. Just in the first podcast I came away with valuable parenting strategies I’ll carry forward with me.
  • Kendram_23
    Perfect for all learners!
    The tips given in every episode are SO helpful. They’re applicable whether you’re helping your student or are a student yourself. I also love the anecdotes!
  • Alondon1
