Why Choose The Ladder Method

Many people with ADHD or executive functioning differences aren’t struggling because they lack effort or intelligence—they’re navigating a brain that processes planning, habits and self-regulation differently.

We Don’t Just Teach Executive Functioning Skills — We Help You Turn Them into Lifelong Habits

At The Ladder Method, we bridge that gap through personalized coaching grounded in a proprietary system that blends evidence-based practices, structured support and social emotional mentorship. Together we help your child or you strengthen existing pathways, build new ones and create sustainable systems for focus, confidence and academic or professional success.

We can proudly say our results-backed methodology leads to lasting independence.

Our Proven Process: How We Help You Succeed

  • Consultation

    A Thoughtful first Step Towards Beginning

    We begin with a free consultation to understand your goals, learning style, and daily challenges. This conversation is the foundation of our assessment process and helps us identify strengths, growth areas, and the right coaching fit. The first three sessions function as a continuous assessment, allowing us to gather real-time insight into what’s working. This is not a quick intake—it’s a thoughtful start to a personalized plan. From there, we match you with a coach who brings both empathy and results-driven expertise.

  • Proprietary Approach

    A Proven Method, Built from Experience and Grounded in Science

    Our work is guided by a proprietary curriculum developed by our founder, Candice Lapin. Her approach has been translated into a structured framework used consistently across our coaching team. Every strategy we teach has been tested, refined, and proven across hundreds of clients. From task initiation to working memory support, these tools are designed to apply directly to daily life. The result is a program that is personalized, research-backed, and effective.

  • Coach Matching

    A Partner on the Journey.

    Coach matching is one of the most important parts of our process. We take time to pair each client with a coach they genuinely connect with. Your coach is more than an instructor—they listen, adapt, and help build systems that support real change. Every coach is trained in our results-backed curriculum and brings empathy, accountability, and care to each session. Transformation happens through partnership, not in isolation.

  • Team-Based Supervision and Support

    Team Based Support that keeps you on Track

    Our clients benefit from a team-based model that ensures no one falls through the cracks. Coaches work closely with supervisors and educators who stay aligned on goals and progress. This collaborative approach allows plans to evolve as needs change. Instead of relying on one perspective, clients receive collective insight and support. The result is consistency, accountability, and a strong safety net.

    We believe meaningful growth should be visible in both data and daily life. Progress is tracked using evidence-based metrics and individualized goals tailored to each client. Improvements in focus, planning, and follow-through are monitored and celebrated along the way. Our data reflects what clients experience—when structure, strategy, and emotional support align, progress follows. Your success is a reflection of our success.

    — Jennifer D | Parent of UC Berkeley Student | September 21, 2022

  • “I recently used The Ladder Method for help with my law school application essays and found them to be invaluable. TLM helped me refine essay topic ideas and bring out the strongest points to really make the essays pop. Application essays need to pack a lot of punch in only a couple of pages and I was having a hard time editing my writing to make every sentence say something meaningful. TLM did not just do the work for me. [They] taught me how to be a much stronger writer. I feel more confident in my writing after working with them.”
