Welcome to
Multisensory Academics
Tutoring, Executive Functions Coaching and Consulting
When you struggle with learning it can feel like the whole world is against you. You feel alone, frustrated, and like you’re ready to give up. But…with the right support, accountability, and encouragement you can learn the skills and strategies you’ve been missing, apply them consistently, so you can blossom and thrive in school, your career and beyond! It doesn’t have to be hard. You just need someone to guide you on your journey.
What To Expect
Strategy Call
Step #1 is to hop on a Strategy Call to discuss your specific needs. Together we will focus on what stopped you from reaching your goals in the past so we can work together to move forward toward your success.
Make A Plan
Together we will design a plan based on your specific needs. This plan will be comprised of specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-based goals. Then we will determine which research-based programs and interventions pertain to each area of challenge.
Sessions
All sessions will be held virtually using the ZOOM platform. Each session is private and will be focused on your current needs. When possible we will use nightly homework assignments as the material to work from so you get your work done while learning the skills you need. Each week we will work toward these goals learning new strategies and practicing what you’ve already learned to ensure it becomes part of your new routine and habits. It’s a win, win!

Executive Functioning Coaching
Executive Functions are the set of brain-based processes that help us to regulate behavior, work efficiently, make decisions and set and achieve goals. When you have weak executive functioning skills, you can be disorganized or forgetful, have trouble getting started on tasks and get distracted easily. You may become angry when routines are changed or expectations are not met and act on impulse without realizing the consequences of your actions.
Becky has 17+ years of experience working with clients in this area. She helps you find the system that works best for you, helps you set new routines and shift your habits toward those that will promote learning and efficiency helping you stay on top of your work load so you work smarter, not harder and embrace these new habits long term.
Areas of Instruction:
Task Initiation & Follow Through
Planning/Organization
Working Memory
Monitoring Performance
Impulse Inhibition
Self-Regulation
Consulting

As such she has found that parents like you need a resource, advocate, and someone who understands the process to help support you along this journey as well as participate in meetings who speaks the language of the schools. She has worked with many families to provides a full array of literacy-related consultative services, including but not limited to:
