Prepped and Polished

These days, most parents are familiar with neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism and ADHD. However, there’s another condition with the potential to impact your child’s performance and achievements both in and out of the classroom, and it affects up to 89 percent of students with ADHD. Executive function disorder refers to a condition that impacts the key cognitive functions that enable us to set and achieve goals while managing our impulses and emotions. If your child struggles with executive dysfunction, they may have trouble with a wide range of tasks, from taking notes in class and completing their homework on schedule to doing their assigned chores at home.

Great bumping into Steffany Doolittle in Weston Center—always a great conversation and collaboration. For parents navigating private school admissions, I highly recommend Steffany and her thoughtful, student-centered approach to private school guidance.

I had a great time over coffee with Alexis Andrés Ávila of Prepped and Polished (photo taken in front of their new offices in downtown Weston, MA).

We work in different parts of the education world - I focus on educational consulting, and he focuses on test prep and tutoring - but our work fits together in a way that truly supports students and families.

One of the things I appreciate most about relationships like this is the ability to confidently refer families to someone I trust. When we share insights, collaborate, and guide families to the right resources, everyone benefits.

Here’s to spring, connection, and the power of a strong professional network.
