Why Choose The Ladder Method

Many people with ADHD or executive functioning differences aren’t struggling because they lack effort or intelligence—they’re navigating a brain that processes planning, habits and self-regulation differently.

At The Ladder Method, we bridge that gap through personalized coaching grounded in a proprietary system that blends evidence-based practices, structured support and social emotional mentorship. Together we help your child or you strengthen existing pathways, build new ones and create sustainable systems for focus, confidence and academic or professional success.

We can proudly say our results-backed methodology leads to lasting independence.

We Don’t Just Teach Executive Functioning Skills — We Help You Turn Them into Lifelong Habits

Our Proven Process: How We Help You Succeed

  • Consultation

    A Thoughtful first Step Towards Beginning

    We begin with a free consultation where we learn about you or your family’s goals, learning style, and daily challenges.

    This conversation is the first step in our comprehensive assessment process allowing us to identify strengths, areas for growth and the right coaching match. This isn't a quick intake form. It's the foundation of everything we build together. We treat the first three sessions as a continuous assessment, gathering real-time data about what's working and what needs adjustment.

    Then we match you with a coach who connects with you personally, someone who brings both our results backed methodology and empathy to every session.

  • Proprietary Approach

    A Proven Method, Built from Experience and Grounded in Science

    We do things differently because our process is rooted in a proprietary curriculum created by our founder, Candice Lapin.

    To ensure every learner receives consistent, high-quality coaching, we translated Candice’s proven approach into a structured framework that all our coaches use.

    Every technique we teach has been tested, refined, & proven to work across hundreds of clients. From task initiation support to working memory strategies, we give you tools that translate directly into daily life.

    This isn’t just about maintaining quality — it’s how we guarantee that every client experiences a program that’s personalized, research-backed, and designed to help you reach the next level academically, professionally, and personally.

  • Coach Matching

    A Partner on the Journey.

    One of the most important things we do is spend time matching you or your child with a coach you can connect with.

    Your coach is more than an instructor—they’re your touchstone through this process. They listen and adapt our clients build new systems and strengthen their executive functioning skills.

    Every coach at The Ladder Method is trained in our results-backed curriculum and brings warmth, empathy and deep understanding to each session.

    They know how to meet our clients where they are at, celebrate the wins and help navigate the hard days with compassion and accountability.

    Transformation does not happen alone-it happens in partnership.

  • Team-Based Supervision and Support

    Team Based Support that keeps you on Track

    No one slips through the cracks—because we work in teams.

    Unlike traditional tutoring or therapy models, where you work with just one person, our clients benefit from a collaborative network of educators and supervisors who stay in close communication about your progress, reviewing goals and outcomes to ensure your plan evolves as you do.

    The result? Continuous support, collective, expertise and a safety net of caring professionals who are all invested in your success.

  • Measurable Progress Tracking

    We measure what matters.

    We believe that real growth shows up in both data and daily life.

    That’s why we track each client’s progress using evidence-based metrics and indivudalized goal-setting— ensuring that every improvement in focus, planning and follow-through is visible and celebrated.

    Our data confirms what our clients feel: when structure, strategy and emotional support align success follows.

    Your success is a measure of our success.
