Bridget really 'gets' my child. She always tries to find a strength within his challenges, and helps him build from there. She has taught my child how to advocate for his own needs with his teachers, which has built up his confidence and independence. - N.S. Parent

Bridget was instrumental in helping my daughter in the transition period between high school and employment, helping Zoe learn invaluable skills. She has opened my daughter's eyes and mind to yoga and mindfulness to significantly reduce her anxiety, build her self- esteem, and learn better tools to understand her ADHD. - M.C. Parent

Ms. Scafidi supported me during school by assessing my personal needs and creating an adaptable environment to aid me with school work while providing resources to help my mental health and issues at home. Ms. Scafidi truly improved my quality of life in and out of school. - S.T. Student

I can't express the amount of gratitude I have for the services provided by Bridget Scafidi. She has impacted my daughter socially, emotionally as well as in the classroom. From helping Kameron build a resume, fill out job applications and even helping Kam to obtain her temps; she has gone above and beyond to help my daughter. We are forever grateful. - D.T. Parent

In my 36 years working in public education, in ten school districts, I have never worked with an educator with the depth of understanding for the whole child that Ms. Scafidi daily operates in. Her passion and compassion for all her students places them on a path of GREATness. It is said about her that, SCAFIDI=SUCCESS!! - J. H. High School Guidance Counselor

The "Air Traffic Controller" of students' brains and bodies......That is how Harvard's Center on the Developing Child* defines Executive Functioning skills; a child's need to "manage a busy airport (with) arrivals and departures of dozens of planes on multiple runways". Teachers, bosses, coaches, etc. might define these (lack of) skills as disorganized, scattered, forgetful, stubborn, angry, emotional, unmotivated, etc. But, when broken down, these "weaknesses" can and should be viewed as needs in self-monitoring, emotional control, organization, planning, time management, working memory, flexible thinking, and focus/attention. As a coach, I streamline these needs into 3 target areas: Self Management, Time Management, and Life Management and provide personalized TOOLS FOR SUCCESS.

As an educator and Intervention Specialist for 27 years, I see daily struggles of students attempting to navigate their academic and home settings without the necessary tools for success. I see parents feeling frustrated with their child. Without these tools, students' self esteem is greatly impacted as is their relationships with family, peers, etc. Upon the initial consult, students and/or families will be provided with a personalized toolbox of strategies to support their journey towards success in their next educational or personal endeavor. We then can offer follow up services and coaching to ensure success and accountability of the student.
