THE REALITY
Neurodiversity support that doesn't make you wait years
The average wait time for a developmental evaluation in the US is 3 to 5 years. During that wait, your child is growing, learning, struggling, and adapting. You can't afford to do nothing while the system catches up.
A learning and special needs coach on MissPoppins provides immediate, practical support while you navigate evaluations, IEPs, school systems, and the emotional weight of parenting a child whose needs don't fit conventional frameworks.
Whether your child has a diagnosis, is awaiting one, or simply learns differently, our coaches work from a strengths-based perspective: what does your child do well, and how do we build on that?

Learning & special needs questions parents ask most
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does a neurodiversity coach do?
1
A neurodiversity coach helps parents understand their child's unique neurological profile, build strengths-based strategies for home and school, and navigate the evaluation and support system.
Do I need a diagnosis before getting coaching?
2
No. Many families come to coaching while awaiting evaluation or because their child learns differently without a formal diagnosis. A coach provides immediate, practical support regardless of where you are.
How is coaching different from occupational therapy?
3
OT addresses specific functional skills through clinical intervention. Coaching works with the parent to build daily routines and approaches that support your child across all settings. Many families benefit from both.
Can Montessori methods help my child with special needs?
4
Montessori's child-led, sensory-rich approach often aligns well with neurodiverse learners. A Montessori coach adapts these principles to your child's specific needs.
How much does special needs coaching cost?
5
Sessions range from $75 to $200. Packages cost $400 to $1,200. Most coaches on MissPoppins offer a free 15-minute discovery call.
