We are so proud of our own Rachel Z. Roth, Director of Educational Support Services at Mind by Design, who is presenting this Wednesday evening as part of the LearnUp Speaker Series.
Rachel will be walking parents and educators through what executive functioning skills actually look like at home and at school — what the challenges are, why they show up differently for neurodiverse kids, and most importantly, what you can do to support them across both environments.
If you are a parent, teacher, or anyone who works with children and wants practical strategies you can use right away — this one is free, it is online, and it is one hour of your time well spent.

Happy Teacher Appreciation week! Thank you to teachers across the nation for all the effort and care you put towards your students and classrooms. 🥰
At LearnUp, we help teach struggling readers how to read. The work we do would not be possible without the support of our amazing educators! Teachers uplift students to grow and overcome challenges and are instrumental in making sure certain students receive extra support when needed.
In this video, we wanted to highlight and thank Ms. Deb from Mission High School in San Francisco. Her support of our program has allowed us to provide critical reading intervention to high school students struggling in reading. Thank you for all the work that you do!
At LearnUp, our goal is not only to teach your child how to read, but also to empower them to have the confidence to face challenges and do hard things. Hear directly from one of our tutors, Jackie, on why she loves being a LearnUp tutor.
Reading is an essential skill that involves much more than academics, so when a student is struggling to read, this means they are also struggling to engage with the world around them. Our goal at LearnUp is to help create happy and confident readers who are ready to take on any challenge.
