Kelly is very relateable, making it easy for my son to feel understood and supported. Finding out he has ADHD and the struggle he's been dealing

with was a shock but she really helped us organize our priorities, try various approaches to identify what works, and then formulate a plan that we

could all adhere to. Her willingness to share from her own experience also helps normalize the situation and make it less daunting.

Kelly bridges the gap between what parents can provide and what the school offers to ensure kids are fully supported during these critical transitions.

We feel so privileged that we found Kelly through the Executive Function summer course that she conducted. Kelly was marvelous at communicating with our 11 year old (now 12) son and also with ourselves. As parents, she gave us a breakdown every day of what was taught and what issues she had specifically noted with our son and gave us corresponding advice. After the four-day course ended, we decided to continue on with private executive function sessions, as our son has prominent gaps in his decision-making and is a particularly challenging child to parent. The communication from her to us remains exemplary. Our son, who generally is quite suspicious of adults,  has come to trust Kelly and he enjoys his hourly sessions with her-she makes things fun and relatable. She has tailored the sessions specifically to our child's needs and if something particular comes up that we think as parents needs to be addressed on an emergent basis she will be sure to incorporate that into her next session. Very quickly, within a few weeks,  she understood our child’s needs even better than we as parents did (which was a great relief after advocating for him as parents in the public school system for years and not getting very far at all). Kelly ‘gets our son’, and for that, we are so grateful.

Kelly Devenish is awesome, truly awesome.  Our Grade 12 son has ADHD and was really struggling with organizing his school assignments and studying- he felt overwhelmed and defeated.  Kelly came to us as a referral so we started weekly sessions with her in September.  Kelly was able to work with my son to provide a game plan for success and a pathway to university.  Our son never once complained about going to see Kelly, which was a miracle in itself- he looked forward to the sessions and spending time speaking with her about the challenges and obstacles he had encountered that week. Kelly gave him hope and instilled confidence in his abilities that put a spring in his step we haven’t seen in years. I highly recommend Kelly and her services.  They were a game changer for our son and our family.
