Learning anything takes time. Learning how your brain functions, how to harness its strengths, and how to work through its challenges takes a lifetime commitment ā every single day. That journey starts with awareness, and it continues with the endurance to train, fail forward, and persist consistently. Sometimes, it means bringing in a coach to help you reach the next level.
The Learning Advocate supports adolescents and adults with ADHD and Executive Functioning (EF) challenges. I coach young people and adults individually, as well as parents who want to better understand how to support their children. Clients learn how their brains function, build on their strengths, and gain the practical tools they need to tackle challenges head-on.

What is ADHD & EF Coaching?
What is ADHD & EF Coaching?
ADHD coaches specialize in supporting individuals with ADHD with specific training about how those brains are uniquely wired. ADHD can be defined as a delay in Executive Functioning (EF), so the coaching is similar for symptoms of both. Specially trained coaches help clients with ADHD or ADHD-like symptoms identify their strengths, become aware of their specific patterns, and understand the "why?" of their setbacks. Coaching extends to those who care for someone with ADHD as well.
The Learning Advocate collaborates with clients to find and sustain personalized strategies for skills like time management, organization, procrastination reduction, and more, to build independence in the learning process.

Hi, I'm Tara Lee Ronzetti, and I have been an educator for over 20 years. Iām from Virginia and have lived and worked as an educator in three countries. When I was 40, I was diagnosed with ADHD, and it changed my life. I now also parent a child with ADHD as well. All this set me on a journey to learn as much as possible about how my brain worked, to harness my strengths, and understand my challenges. My career started with working with young people with reading disorders, then coaching teachers. Now as an Educational Therapist and ADHD Coach, I concentrate my work on helping adolescents, adults, and families to be successful.
I bring a rare combination of credentials to this work: an Ed.M. in Human Development and Psychology from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, National Board Certification, and specialized training from ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), one of only a few ICF-approved coaching certification programs specializing in ADHD. For Executive Functioning, I trained with Dr. Tamar Kahane, creator of the POWERS program (powersprogram.com) for EF and SEL.

You not only helped me develop as a writer, but you helped me develop as a person. ADHDer to ADHDer, you gave me some crucial advice I'll never forget. Learning how to use what seemed to be a limiter to my success to my advantage, especially from someone who understood, made me feel like I belonged.Ā

Working with Tara has been a life changer from both my son and me. She helped me understand the IEP process and how to read formal test scores. His understanding of learning, IEPs, and rules and regulations is amazing. I would definitely recommend Tara as an advocate and tutor."

Tara was a great sounding board to bounce ideas off of whenever I had new ideas to get my students excited about learning.What I appreciated the most, however, was despite being busy with a school full of students, she always enthusiastically made herself available to my students.Ā
