Katie Dix provides executive function coaching and academic support for young children, adolescents, and young adults. The focus of her practice is to empower students to reach their full potential by building strong, sustainable executive functioning habits. By focusing on core processes—such as organization, time management, planning, prioritization, working memory, and self-monitoring—Mrs. Dix helps students navigate both their current academic demands and long-term personal goals.

Mrs. Dix works extensively with students navigating executive functioning challenges, ADHD, and diverse learning profiles. With deep expertise in supporting students with IEPs and 504 plans, she creates individualized frameworks that seamlessly integrate subject-area support with practical EF strategies. Mrs. Dix’s approach centers on fostering self-advocacy and independence, equipping students with the tools and confidence they need to thrive on their own.
