Russell Coaching for Students specializes in helping children, teens, and young adults with ADHD, autism, AuDHD, executive functioning challenges, and complex neurodiverse profiles thrive academically, socially, and personally. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Norrine Russell, our nationwide practice goes far beyond traditional academic or executive functioning coaching. Through our original CONNECTED Coaching model, we address the whole student—building motivation, emotional regulation, communication, self-advocacy, independence, and essential life skills. We specialize in students whose needs don’t fit neatly into traditional interventions, including those with uneven abilities, co-occurring conditions, and persistent challenges despite tutoring or therapy. Our highly trained coaches build meaningful connections, develop practical skills, and help students move from dependence on adult support toward genuine ownership of their lives. More than better grades. Greater confidence, capability, and independence.
