For over twenty years, I have enjoyed working with students, families, and educators regarding the strengths and challenges surrounding ADHD. I established Comeau ADHD Coaching in 2020, passionate about changing how we view and support ADHD in school and the home.  As a college disability service provider, I noticed that students arrived at college without the learning strategies and self-advocacy skills needed to succeed. Using a strengths-based approach, I educate students about their diagnosis and teach them the executive function tools required for academic and personal success. I infuse coaching and Motivational Interviewing techniques, supporting students where they are in their journey and creating an optimal environment for change. We are all on a spectrum of neurodiversity where learning differences are expected, not deficits. 

​

My commitment to further support students and parents led to co-authoring the book/workbook, The Essential Six, A Parent's Guide: Paving the Road to Self-Advocacy for College Students with Learning Differences, published through the Association on Higher Education and Disability (ahead.org). I am in the process of writing a second book, and this past year, I have worked as a Senior Associate Researcher writing about topics related to student learning and parent support for Level All (levelall.com).​

​

As a professional ADHD Parent Coach, I teach collaborative communication skills and educate parents about ADHD, leading to positive changes in family dynamics and student outcomes. I received ADHD parent coach training from Cindy Goldrich, Ed.M., ADHD-CCSP, author of two books - 8 Keys to Parenting Kids with ADHD and ADHD, Executive Function and Behavioral Challenges in the Classroom  (ptscoaching.com). 

​

My most significant career experience is working at Landmark College in Putney, VT, the nation's premier college for students with learning differences. I supervised Landmark College Advisors, directly supported students and families during the academic year, and taught in Landmark's distinguished summer programming. I worked as an Education Specialist with Landmark's Institute for Research and Training traveling the country and delivering educator workshops. In addition, I served as Executive Director of the Curtis Blake Center at American International College and TRIO Director at Westfield State University. I also served as a Disability Specialist at the University of Connecticut's Center for Students with Disabilities and as their liaison for student-athletes with ADHD and Learning Disabilities.​

​

I am an enthusiastic and skilled workshop presenter providing professional development for educators and parents on various disability-related topics. I extensively presented while an Education Specialist for Landmark College and at national conferences throughout my career. I graduated with the highest honors from the University of Massachusetts with a Master’s in Education, Curriculum & Instruction.
