Do Austin students have to drive to Rochester for coaching?

No. Coaching is delivered by telehealth for nearly all Austin clients, with in-person available if preferred.

Can coaching support a student athlete's schedule?

Yes. Managing practice, travel, and coursework together is one of the most common goals.

What if we already have a diagnosis from elsewhere?

That is fine. Bring the records and we will build coaching on top of what is already known.

ADHD & Executive Function Coaching in Austin, MN

ADHD coaching for Austin students in ISD 492 and Pacelli, delivered by telehealth.

40 miles south of Rochester~45 minutes drive

Forty-Five Minutes North on 218

Austin families have had limited local access to board-certified pediatric neuropsychology, which usually leaves two choices: a long wait at a large system or a drive to the metro. Rochester is the closer, faster option.

The route is a straight run north on US-218 and I-90, about forty-five minutes to our NW Rochester office.

Austin Public Schools (ISD 492) and Pacelli Catholic Schools both serve students here, and each has its own process for using an outside evaluation. We write reports that work for both.

For Packer and Pacelli Families

Coaching serves Austin students who understand the assignment and still cannot get started. Sessions run by telehealth, so a forty-five minute drive is not part of the weekly plan, and the work is about structure: chunking assignments, protecting a start time, and reducing the number of places information can get lost.

Non-medication, evidence-based coaching for ages 6–21
Practical attention, organization, time-management, and study skills
Personalized routines that transfer between school and home
Telehealth available — no extra drive after a long school day
