From idea
to process
Storybehind it →→ Deborah’sstory
Post pandemic, I found myself in a placewhere my children were not succeedingat school. I didn’t understand exactlywhy they were struggling or what theirchallenges were
Oftentimes one of my kids would receivea grade but we wouldn’t understand howthe teachers came to that grade. It’svery difficult as a parent to have yourchild’s back when you don’t understandexactly where their problem is.
I saw the anxiety inthem and I wasn’tequipped to address it
WatchDeborah’s story
Other parents were coming tome and talking about the lackof transparency and howfrustrating and demoralizing itwas for their children.
I did some further digging aboutindividual tutoring for ADHD andsomeone suggested that anexecutive functioning coach wouldbe helpful.
Process initiation
When Deveren first startedworking with my son, he was in aplace of high anxiety; he wasavoiding school; he was frustratedand uncomfortable in class anddidn’t want to participate.
Pain points
He often felt like he wasthe “dumbest kid” in the room
Deveren began working with himto help communicate with theteachers more effectively.
03EF method
He helped break down the assignments,so he wasn’t so overwhelmed.
This is what executive functioning is about,learning how to manage your anxieties andadvocate for what you need.
Progress
My son transformed from ayoung man with a lot ofinsecurities around educationinto someone who is veryconfident in his ability to learn.
We built Uluru becausethere weren’t enoughDeverens to go around!
He was stretched to capacity as anexecutive function coach, and feltlimited in his ability to help more familiessimply because of his own lack of time.
Our result
We began talking about a platformthat would allow for his method to bedelivered to more people that neededit. An app for executive functioningskills that offered real-time coachingthat could be available 24 hours a day.
Uluru uses technology for good and isthe result of real-life successes, andheartfelt experiences.
