FOR NEURODIVERGENT LEARNER
Supportive, patient, trauma-informed driving lessons tailored for autistic learners, teens with ADHD, anxiety, and other executive-functioning needs.
(Please note: Driving services are ONLY offered in-person, in the Northern Virginia Area)

Predictable routines
Clear, step-by-step instruction
Sensory-aware teaching
Emotional regulation support
Extra processing time
Nonjudgmental, trauma-informed coaching
With over a decade as a licensed special education teacher and extensive experience supporting autistic learners, ADHDers, and students with anxiety, I provide driving instruction that truly meets learners where they are.
