Katherine Zanetta, M.Ed., M.P.A. is an experienced educator, licensed K-8 Teacher of Students with Moderate Disabilities and Elementary (Grades 1-6), ADHD/Executive Function coach, tutor and advocate. As an educator, she has observed the challenges children with ADHD and Executive Function skill deficits and is adept at teaching and coaching students and parents to learn, develop, and practice these skills to support academic growth, social success, and personal well-being.

She works exclusively with elementary and middle-school girls whose ADHD and Executive Function challenges are often overlooked and/or misunderstood. Her work allows her to focus on the unique challenges girls, and families of girls, with ADHD and Executive Function deficits face.

​

In her child-and-family-centered approach, Kate collaborates with girls and their care-givers to identify challenges, set realistic and attainable goals, and measure progress towards those goals. The interventions she creates are individualized, targeted, well-explained and accessible.

 

As a woman with ADHD, who was not diagnosed until she was an adult, and as a teacher, Kate understands how girls' struggles with ADHD and Executive Function differ from those of boys. She is sensitive to the misconceptions, biases, and gender based assumptions that impact girls with ADHD and Executive Function skill deficits.
