As a parent advocating for your ADHD/neurodivergent child at their school, have you found it difficult to jump through all the hoops required by our school systems in order to get help? If there was a way to develop and maintain a collaborative approach with your child’s teachers, with the goal of helping your child succeed in school, would you want to know how to do it? Great! You are in the right place! My guest Frances Coppa, an ADHD Coach, parent of a child with ADHD, a person with ADHD herself, a former SpEd teacher and school principal, has developed a model which leads parents and teachers through the process of working together in creating a supportive environment and structure to enable your child to succeed in school, not simply in academics but in the social aspects of personal development as well.

Tree of Life with Michelle Raz
Visualize a tree, with roots, trunk and branches all visible. This is your Tree, your life past and present, ready to grow more branches, the ideas and plans and things you create with your life. The roots are the experiences you have had in your life, some good, some not so good; what have you learned from them? How have they shaped who you are today? They are the foundation for your core beliefs/passions/values, which are the trunk of the tree. The branches are the directions your life has taken with new ones growing all the time as new ideas develop into plans, new experiences give rise to new ideas...you get the idea.

Apple PodcastsAndroidRSSSimi Mandelbaum, CEO of PROSPR Financial Wellness, is my guest today. She founded PROSPR in 2019 to provide education and tools for people to use in order to reduce the stress and anxiety they feel around money and reach financial success (as they define it). (PROSPR has no “E” on purpose – no Excuses.)
ADHD minds work well with visual representation of thoughts and ideas – diagrams, pictures, maps. The PROSPR model starts with visualization of your financial success, in much more depth and detail than just a picture floating around in your head. Watch or listen (or both) as we demonstrate how the process starts, with Simi in her role as a Certified Financial Therapist (CFT) and myself as someone aiming for retirement. Listen and Learn!
