In Practice Executive Function Coaching
Practical, individualized coaching for students and adults with ADHD and executive function challenges.
About
Hi, I'm Susan! I'm an executive function coach and special educator with 20+ years of experience supporting students, adults, and families.
I created In Practice because knowing what to do isn't always the hard part. It's figuring out how to actually do it in everyday life. My coaching is practical and individualized. Together, we build strategies and systems that fit your brain, your responsibilities, and your goals.
My background
- Executive function coach, trained through the International Executive Function Coaching Certification (IEFCC): Level 1 complete, Level 2 in progress
- Master's in Elementary Education
- License in Severe Special Education
- Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
- Experience in nonprofit special education schools, public schools, and 1:1 coaching
A little more about me
I grew up on Cape Cod and now live on the South Shore with my husband and our two boys. I'll admit I think planners are super cute, but they've never actually worked for me. What does work: brain dumps, simple lists, breaking big things into small chunks, and leaving room for real life to happen. That's how I coach too. Your system doesn't need to be one specific plan, and it definitely doesn't need to be pretty. It just needs to work for you, and leave space for the things that matter most outside the to-do list.
The goal isn't perfection. It's progress, and knowing your strengths so life feels a little lighter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is executive function coaching?
Executive function coaching helps you build practical strategies for things like planning, organization, time management, task initiation, prioritizing, and follow-through. We focus on what’s getting in the way and develop strategies that work in your actual day-to-day life.
Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to work with you?
No. I work with clients with ADHD as well as clients who experience executive function challenges without a formal diagnosis.
Do you work with both students and adults?
Yes! I offer individualized coaching for both students and adults. Student coaching also includes parent communication and support as appropriate.
What happens during coaching sessions?
Sessions are practical and individualized. We’ll identify current challenges, break them into manageable pieces, build strategies together, and adjust those strategies based on what actually works for you. The goal isn’t to create a “perfect” system — it’s to find systems you can realistically use.
Is coaching virtual?
Yes. Coaching sessions are held virtually, making it easier to fit sessions into real life and allowing us to work together from wherever you are.
How do I know which program is right for me?
Start with a free discovery call. We’ll talk about what you’re looking for, where you or your student are getting stuck, and whether In Practice feels like a good fit. I can also help you decide which coaching option makes the most sense.
Is executive function coaching therapy?
No. Executive function coaching is not psychotherapy, mental health treatment, or ABA therapy. In Practice provides educational coaching services focused on building practical executive function skills and strategies for everyday life. Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental health or medical conditions.
Do you accept insurance?
In Practice does not accept or bill insurance. Coaching services are private-pay educational services and payment is made directly through In Practice.
