❋ Break large tasks into manageable steps
❋ Stay organized and meet deadlines

❋ Overcome procrastination and follow through on goals

Meet Casey Condon-Yu, “The Coach”

Years ago, before classrooms were filled with screens and AI, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Education and a Reading Endorsement from the University of Iowa. As I raised my family, with neurodivergence simply part of our everyday life, I found myself digging deeper into how students learn and thrive. That journey inspired me to continue my professional learning through certifications in Executive Function Coaching, College Counseling, and Dyslexia Education and Advocacy.
Today, I'm an educator, coach, and parent who is passionate about helping students launch into their next chapter. Drawing on both personal insight and professional expertise, I help teens and young adults develop executive function skills, build self-awareness, and take their own next steps with confidence and clarity.
