About Me

My name is Kathy Cross and I live in Tulsa, OK.  I have been married 34 years and I have an amazing son who is 25 years old.  I am a loud and proud Oklahoma Sooners Football Fanatic, attending home games since the age of 8.  In addition to football, I love to ride my Harley Davidson motorcycle, go to concerts and live events, travel, write, garden, decorate for holidays, and entertain friends and family.

I am a life-long learner with a bachelor of arts degree and a master’s degree in Human Relations, both from the University of Oklahoma.  I have been a Certified ADHD Coach since 2017 but have 25+ years of experience working with youth and special populations. I have recently completed a Post-graduate Certificate in Learning Disabilities & Neurodiversity with a Specialization in Executive Function from Landmark College Institute for Research and Innovation.

In addition, I am certified to teach Seeing My Time, the Sklar Process®, which offers visual tools for executive functioning success.

I am an Independent Facilitator for Parenting with Love & Logic® curriculum and I am training to become a Certified Instructor of the Parent2Parent Family Training Program for CHADD (Children and Adults with ADHD).

My son, now 25 years old, has many diagnoses that make learning difficult and complex.  Along with ADHD, we have dealt with PTSD, severe anxiety, ODD, OCD, dysgraphia, auditory processing disorder, expressive language disorder, disorder of written expression, and tics.  When he was diagnosed with ADHD at age six, I went on a journey to research and understand his differences so he would not feel like he was alone in it all.  I became his advocate and, in the process, realized the many needs of this student population that are not being addressed or even considered.  I have also discovered my own ADHD behaviors throughout this venture.

I am fascinated with the ADHD mind and how ADHD affects the development of executive functioning skills.  My goal as a coach is to be an agent of change for kids and adults that are neurodivergent (learn differently). If I can help smooth the path for even one kiddo or family struggling with ADHD, then I will have been successful in my endeavors.

Throughout the years, I have helped my son build a toolbox of his own and we are always looking for new strategies to add to the collection.   If your student is facing learning challenges, feels defeated because of deficits in executive functioning skills, has trouble making/keeping friends or needs to focus on future goals until completion, then please consider scheduling a consultation with ADHD in Focus Coaching.  My services can provide you or your student with tools for change, opportunities for growth, increased self-confidence, academic improvement, and a brighter, happier perspective.    

My son, and all those who follow behind him,

is the reason I coach.
