My passion is educating children (and parents) about executive functioning and its developmental importance. Too many kids get labeled as "lazy" or "troubled", when a lack of skill is the culprit, not a stubborn "will".   
This has led to extensive professional development training in executive functioning from leading experts in the field including an advanced certificate in EF for children and adolescents, and an advanced EF Mastery course of evidence- based strategies in attention, memory and self-regulation. More specific to ADHD was an intensive evidence-based Strategies course for managing ADHD across the lifespan.

I am a certified provider of the  PEERS® program, an evidence-based social skills program developed at UCLA for school age children through young adults on the Spectrum and certified as a provider (2025)  as one of the first groups of the new PEERS for Preschoolers program.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology from Fairfield (CT) University, and Masters and Doctorate degrees from UCONN in Biobehavioral Science.                         
 

            
One of my 6 children is autistic and has adhd, and three others have ADHD; I have ADD myself.  
I celebrate neurodiversity and see it as a superpower!

I am a self taught artist,  and volunteer for WA based non- profit "Paws with Cause", which uses art to raise money and awareness to help shelter pets get adopted and cared for.
I was interviewed on a podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/adhd-for-smart-ass-women-with-tracy-otsuka/id1443678424?i=1000634888729
