Summer reading 📖

What are you reading this summer? If you’re looking for the perfect book to get lost in while soaking up the sun or unwinding under warm, breezy evenings, we highly recommend Beyond the Edge of Chaos. It’s a powerful, thought-provoking read that’s worth adding to your list.

Next up… #3 Study Skills 💡

Study skills aren’t “extra”, they’re essential!

Threshold Coaches guide students in using proven strategies that support real college success, one class at a time.

It’s okay to feel a mix of pride, anxiety, and even a quiet sense of grief when your student heads to college. The emotional tension you’re feeling is simply attachment doing exactly what it was designed to do.

Instead of focusing on needing to feel “ready to let go,” shift your focus to trusting that they are ready to go.

Our work at Threshold Coaches is rooted in guiding neurodivergent students toward independence, self-advocacy, and emotional regulation. We help them build the systems and resilience they need to succeed.

Your job now is to provide the supportive “soft landing space” where they can practice this new independence. Your guidance is still essential, but allow them to take the lead.

They are not leaving you behind; they are carrying forward everything you have given them.

Cindy is gathered with high school guidance counselors, college advisors, and independent education consultants at PANACAC this week to learn more about success in the college setting.

She is also presenting, “Letting go, staying connected: coaching parents to build college readiness”.

Stay tuned for more updates on Cindy’s adventures at the conference and all things Threshold Coaches!

Next up is…. #2 Schedule: Starting college strong begins with smart class choices.

Need a little help getting ready for your first year of college or getting back on track? Threshold Coaches is here for you! We’d love to connect - link in bio.

A calm IEP meeting isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing up grounded, prepared, and centered on your student’s voice.

Before the meeting, connect with your student and ask:

1. What’s working well?
2. What’s not working?
3. What would help you feel successful in class?

Your role is to help them say this clearly and respectfully so that their needs are heard without putting anyone on the defensive.

✅ The long-term goal: by junior or senior year, your student is leading this conversation.

Hearing these words directly from your student matters. It builds self-awareness, reduces shame, and helps them grow into someone who can advocate for what they need.

IEP meetings don’t have to feel overwhelming for you or your student!
