Today, we’re talking to Diane McLean. After a 25 year career as an educator and school counselor, Diane is now an ADHD and executive function coach, and has committed herself to providing coaching services to help children, adolescents, and adults overcome executive functioning challenges, and acquire the skills and knowledge needed to experience success.
In Today’s Episode, Diane talks about being the mother of an adult son with special needs, and how she navigated the challenges that presented. We discuss the power of networking and building a community, the importance of doing the leg work, some of the hard decisions she has had to make, and what she has learned from her son.
