Our Extraordinary Outcomes
Our 2024–2025 Results: Real Growth, Real Students, Real Stories
Every year, we evaluate outcomes for every student from 4th grade through University level who completes The Ladder Method program. Every year, our coaching team reviews progress across our entire cohort of 4-12 and University students. Because executive functioning growth isn’t one-size-fits-all, we assess both skill development and emotional growth — how students feel about learning, planning, and independence.
These 2024–2025 results reflect real progress in focus, organization, confidence, and independence — measured through data and direct student feedback. Here’s what else we saw this year.
How We Measure Success
Every student is tracked pre-start, through the 18 months working with us and post program on skills.
We include qualitative reflections from parents, students, and coaches.
Results are aggregated across all 4th–12th participants and University students who completed at least two semesters of coaching.
What Sets The Ladder Method Apart For ADHD And Learning Support
The Ladder Method offers something different, a powerful combination of structured academic coaching and tailored executive function development. While conventional tutoring centers on subject matter alone, we equip students with the skills to learn effectively, stay organized, and plan ahead. And unlike therapy, which prioritizes emotional exploration, our focus is on actionable skill development, mastering time management, and achieving concrete goals.
Our coaching team brings diverse expertise in education, psychology, and learning science. Every coach undergoes comprehensive training in our proprietary framework, integrating the latest executive functioning research, proven learning strategies, and emotional intelligence principles. With many holding advanced degrees or teaching certifications, clients receive knowledgeable, well-rounded guidance. More than ten years of experience working with hundreds of clients has shaped our methodology into a reliable, results-driven system.
Based in Houston, TX, we deliver ADHD coaching and organizational skills development to clients across the country through both in-person and virtual sessions. Our distinctive approach helps clients build lasting systems that promote true independence. Graduation from our program is milestone-based; clients complete coaching once they've demonstrated consistent command of the strategies we've introduced, not after hitting some predetermined deadline. The ultimate aim is always self-sufficiency that lasts.
Serving Houston Families with Executive Function Coaching
Our team supports students and families throughout Houston's diverse communities, from The Heights to West University Place and across the surrounding metro region. Whether you're based near the Galleria searching for executive function coaching or living in Montrose and need ADHD strategies, our coaches are well-versed in the academic pressures Houston students face daily.
We partner with learners enrolled in Houston ISD campuses, independent schools citywide, and higher education institutions, including Rice University, the University of Houston, and the University of St. Thomas. Families in nearby areas like Sugar Land, Katy, and The Woodlands also benefit from our services, and our virtual sessions deliver professional guidance right to your doorstep. Because our coaches know the local educational landscape inside and out, they provide tailored support aligned with your student's specific setting.
Maybe you're wandering through Hermann Park reflecting on your child's potential, or grabbing coffee in the Museum District while contemplating ways to help your learner thrive. The Ladder Method delivers the direction you've been seeking. After ten years and hundreds of successful client relationships, we've learned that geography matters far less than genuine rapport and dedication. We connect with students on their terms, whether face-to-face or through a screen.
