Powerful alone. Transformative together.
Dr. Weke (Wah-Kee) is an Educational Therapist who supports schools and families by providing executive function coaching and social-emotional learning to students at-risk or who have ADHD or an Emotional-Behavior Disorder. A holistic educational approach is used to target various areas (behavioral expression, emotional awareness, learning needs, and life-skills), so that students are more likely to acquire the necessary skills to feel empowered, become self-directed and demonstrate balance. In this way, students begin to exhibit personal mastery: Mastery of their emotions, behaviors, and skills that support their learning, understanding, growth, and wellness.
