I have 15+ years of experience working with ADHD and have it myself. I have taken many classes and professional development sessions on how to work with students that have ADHD. Many of the parents that I have worked with that have ADHD students have found be to be able to work with their ADHD student when other teachers really struggled with their child. I find that working with an ADHD child takes mostly patience and giving them different techniques that they can use to help them cope with their high speed brain.

Meredith is making the learning experience so positive for my grandson that he just told us he wishes he could have a session with her every day. He can't wait to get through the material in a book that they are working in.

Meredith is very patient with our kids. She takes the time to listen to them and answer their questions. She explains things in a way that makes it easier for them to understand. So fortunate to have her help!!

Our granddaughter is going into her 4th week with Meredith. Since she has been working with Meredith, we have seen her spelling test scores go up 3 weeks in a row. Her handwriting has improved and her confidence level with reading is getting better every week. Meredith was also able to test her for Dyslexia and found that she is Dyslexic. She has given us exercises to help our granddaughter. We originally hired Meredith to work with her for reading but Meredith has exceeded our expectations in every way. Our Granddaughter enjoys working with her and waits for her to show up so they can start.

1st lesson went well. My daughter was a little afraid as she has had some bad experiences in the past. Meredith made her feel at ease. She was very patient with my daughter and took the time to get to know her as well as her background. My daughter and I are both looking forward to see the progress on her reading as school starts this fall. After lesson 2, my daughter is actually excited about learning. She is already connecting with Meredith and looking forward to each lesson.

Meredith is very patient with my child and has a very positive way about her. She is very creative and able to teach the way my child learns while still making it fun. She uses games to make the learning fun and challenging. She seems to instill a sense of pride and confidence in my child and thus he is more motivated to learn with her help. I feel her qualifications to help my child are exemplary and feel that us finding her is a blessing. I have been very impressed with her willingness to learn new things and employ different modalities as needed to help the child she is working with. My sense about her is that she is hard working and dedicated to helping children.
