Cindy is a brilliant teacher and coach. I recently completed her PTS Coaching and feel extremely knowledgeable and confident to present this very informative and user- friendly program in my community. Cindy’s constant support and feedback allow me to provide parents with concrete strategies, tools, and knowledge that can change chaos into calm. She is “real and realistic,” I am so incredibly grateful to her.”

I feel so much less stress, as a parent. I knew I probably needed to be more consistent, set limits,  and create structure, but now I have the tools and confidence to really make the changes for me and for my child.

Your presentation provided easy-to-implement practical suggestions for empowering those who work with children and adolescents with ADHD, executive functioning, and other related challenges, as well as recognizing and understanding their own as well as the students’ strengths. Our attendees were inspired and engaged. We admire how you responded so well to the questions and gave great advice, ideas and comfort with your responses.

Cindy’s coaching programs are fantastic. She teaches you in a way in which you feel encouraged and empowered to try new methods and approaches to supporting your child(ren) with ADHD.

What a great curriculum. Parents had positive feedback with their kids already!! I really like how it flowed. So glad I can offer support and education to parents. Thank you for putting this together.

Roberta H. (ADHD Parent Coach Academy Graduate)

I attended your webinar, “Managing Homework: Parents Edition” this past week. It was one of the most informative webinars I have attended regarding kids with ADD. We have been struggling with my son, who is now a sophomore, for years with his homework and completing assignments on time. This gave me so much valuable information that I am going to utilize. In addition to all of the valuable information, the whole webinar was well put together, it flowed nicely, and was easy to follow along and understand. I am a former trainer myself so I understand how much time goes into a quality presentation like this. You also were very easy to understand and you didn’t speak too fast. It moved at a nice pace.

Thank you for your time and expertise.

This training provides a very comprehensive overview of the child with ADHD and why it should be imperative for every parent to take this course. It is evident that you have put an enormous amount of time and energy, and love into this course. For that, I am especially grateful for the course.

ADHD Parent Coach Academy Graduate

I really enjoyed this training! I learned so much from you and have been reflecting on everything I have learned from the moment the course began. You are an excellent teacher and obviously a gifted parent coach. I have derived so many benefits from this training including a stronger ability to stay calm, listen to others, appreciate my strengths as a coach as well as a clinician…

Lauren A. (ADHD Parent Coach Academy Graduate)

Thank you for an incredibly useful training session. It was SO helpful to be able to do this via the web. I would not have been able to do it otherwise. I got a lot out of the course and I plan to go deeply into your materials in the months to come to keep teaching and reminding myself of everything you presented.

Cindy is a knowledgeable and competent teacher. This course has provided me with so many tools as a clinician that have been instrumental in my practice with parents of children with ADHD/EF challenges. This is a great investment for any clinician or coach that works with parents or neurodivergent children.

Christina Silvera, Clinical Psychologist, ADHD & Executive Function Parent Coach

Cindy, If it weren’t for your Calm and Connected class I would not have had the tools to recognize the symptoms. I’m happy to report he is now in 8th grade, has a 504, and is feeling much better about his achievements. 

Martha Y.

It was so wonderful to speak with you a few weeks ago – thank you so much for your time and expert insights. I have told tons of people about your book (8 Keys to Parenting Children with ADHD), which my husband, parents, and I are all reading! As a parenting writer (and as a parent), I’ve read so many books on subjects like this and I have to say, yours is exceptionally helpful. What I admire most about it, is that it keeps the big picture always in mind, so you don’t get too bogged down in the details (but at the same time, it is full of concrete specific strategies). I’ve learned so much from it, and I’m not a newcomer to this disorder, so thank you! I’ll continue to recommend it to parents, and I hope that featuring it in my book, will give the title that much more exposure.

Cindy’s coaching programs are fantastic. She teaches you in a way in which you feel encouraged and empowered to try new methods and approaches to supporting your child(ren) with ADHD.

Cindy helped me realize the importance of working through my own unexpressed emotions. Cindy helped me see this and gave me valuable tools to help the healing process. I am so very grateful for her time and guidance and happy to report that both my son and myself are much better because of it.

Tracy P.

Cindy has an incredible depth of knowledge.  The passion for what she does shines through.  Her Calm & Connected class completely changed my relationship with my son!  The strategies I received have been invaluable.  Being a parent of a neurodiverse child is the hardest job in the world, so to receive help from someone who truly understands has been life-changing.

It’s a pleasure to recommend Cindy Goldrich to present at your school or organization. She led a ½ day presentation at Boulder Country Day School where she helped us discover the unique qualities of both students and adults with attention deficit and executive function issues. Cindy was a dynamic presenter, well-informed, and eager to engage with her audience. She reviewed key characteristics of ADHD and executive functioning deficits, all the while putting to rest myths and inaccuracies that seem to inundate the public discourse. Her practical strategies were well received by our faculty and staff, and we were immediately able to put her training to good use. She’d be an outstanding resource for schools and/or organizations seeking to explore or to learn more about these important issues.

John H. Suitor III, Head of School, Boulder Country Day School

I have thoroughly enjoyed both classes and learned so much. I am excited about providing these services in my community and encourage other professionals to attend Cindy’s training.

Monica

Thank you so much for your training. I really took your advice at the session to heart and I’ve made a shift in my position from that of a parent who believes her child’s teachers don’t “get it,” to that of a parent who realizes that his teachers probably mean well but likely do not have the depth of training needed to really understand the needs of these diverse learners. As a counselor, and a parent of a child with ADHD and dyslexia, I realize that my personal experience and training have provided me with insights and tools that I can share with his teachers so they might be able to better help him and other students. I’m also reaching out to the principal and the counseling and case management team to see if there are ways that I can help educate teachers and other parents. I have to tread lightly–I don’t want to step on toes–but I genuinely feel that I can help make a difference in the lives of students at our school.

Cindy Goldrich is a phenomenal instructor and made it simple to stay engaged. As a result, I earned an APCA license to teach Calm and Connected: Parenting Children and Teens with Executive.

Robyn

I attended one of your trainings earlier this year and loved it!!!! I work as an Educational Technician at a grade 2-5 school and work with many children with ADHD. I was happy to share some of the strategies that I learned from one of your trainings and they proved to be terrific strategies with the students.

Amy H., Educator

Thank you for helping me to appreciate my family. I left work early to see the kids. I walked in the door (washed my hands, changed, and mouth washed) and just hugged them both. Both girls said, “You’re home already?!” and added that they missed me. The dynamic at our house has changed completely. Bonus: they both told me, after the hugging and laughing, that they finished their work. I’m definitely happy about that, but thrilled to know I got to tell them “I love you” with a big smile before they could give me that information.

You have changed my life. I’m forever grateful. Stay safe! Sincerely, Erin

Erin H.

Thank you again for such educational and well-organized instruction. At this time I actually don’t have any immediate follow-up questions. However, if and when I choose to begin parent coaching (outside of working with parents of students) I know I will be appreciative of having you and your wealth of experience as a resource. Thank you for everything, 

Robin Held, Montessori elementary school teacher, ADHD & Executive Function Parent Coach

Cindy’s Calm and Connected parenting workshop is incredible. It helped improve my relationship with my son with ADHD and our overall family dynamics. I go back to the materials often!

Jacqueline L.

I highly recommend working with Cindy. She brings, calm, clarity, and wisdom to your family when you need it most. She understands the challenges you encounter on a daily basis and helps you over the hurdles. Cindy provides her wisest insights and still respects your position and supports you unwaveringly. Most importantly, she helps you see your child in a new light so that you can be your child’s biggest advocate. I am forever grateful for all that Cindy has taught me and my family.

Stacey N.

I knew I needed better communication skills to be able to cope with the new phase of our relationship. …I think it was one the smartest thing I ever did in my life. I feel it is going to bring me closer to my son and understand what he was trying to tell me, for a very simple reason, I now know how to communicate with a calm and collaborative problem-solving attitude instead of being a judgmental, short-tempered parent. I love my son dearly. If this will make me help him and not enable him, I will do it again and again and again. For me, that was the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you Cindy.

Amal Alsayer

I enjoyed your presentation. You were energetic, and informative, and made the learning accessible by using lots of real-life examples.  I walked away with greater insight, strategies, and tools I will use in my classroom.  Thank you!

Ms. B., 6th grade teacher

Cindy’s Parent Coach training program is excellent. She is relatable and knowledgeable about ADHD and parenting. Cindy’s workshops helped me launch my coaching business with workshops that provide valuable and easy to administer tools for both acquiring clients and working with clients. I am also taking advantage of Cindy’s ongoing education to coaches to help me grow my practice and increase my knowledge. I highly recommend this program for coaches just starting out or coaches wanting to expand their practices!

Suzanne Holstein MS, M.Ed, ADHD & Executive Function Parent Coach

You’ve developed a really brilliant program here. I wish I had it when my son was first diagnosed 10 years ago!

Melissa Bildner, ADHD & Executive Function Parent Coach

Cindy, I really appreciated the opportunity to attend this session. As I mentioned to you via a separate email conversation I learned more about myself as a result of taking this course and was able to identify myself as an individual that also has ADHD. It was very liberating, and am working on developing additional supports for myself that would help hold me accountable and become more successful both in my career and in my personal life.
