Rachel Z. Roth
Director of Educational Support Services

I have always believed every student can achieve their goals with the right tools and support.

I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education and History from Lake Forest College and a Master’s Degree in Special Education from Santa Clara University. I have completed a graduate certificate program in transition to adulthood to help teens navigate the jump from high school to the great world beyond. I am also finishing a certificate program in Educational Therapy to further support the work I do.

I am a cheerleader for the individuals I work with and aim to help them discover the pathway to the future that is ideal for them.

I’m Kaila, a dedicated coach who aims to inspire growth in students through one-on-one coaching sessions. With a background in neuroscience and psychology, I know the importance of cultivating skills by following a child’s personal way of processing new ideas, feelings, and behaviors.

My coaching work focuses on empowering elementary through early high school students to manage time, keep organized, and achieve cherished goals. I ensure the strategies we practice are useful as well as personally relevant. For me, coaching is more than task management: it’s a supported path to well-being and independence.

Educational Tutor and Coach

Hello! I’m Dana, and for the last 20 years I have been a special education teacher in Bay Area public schools. Currently, I serve as a tutor and coach at Mind by Design, both roles I embrace with passion and dedication. What excites me about being part of the Mind by Design team is the ability to work individually with clients, and I’m committed to making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.

I embarked on my journey in education with a MS in Special Education from Dominican University, CA, a foundational experience that equipped me with the knowledge and skills to pursue my career. My professional path began as a Special Day Class teacher in San Francisco Unified School District, evolving over time to working as a Transition Specialist assisting high school seniors forge a path toward continuing education and a career. I am new to the Mind by Design team and look forward to working outside of the school setting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Top Questions About Executive Function Coaching

Is a Psycho-Educational Assessment required to receive coaching?
No, an assessment is not required.
What skills are built during coaching?

The specific skills developed through coaching are tailored to individual needs and may include time management, organization, follow-through, impulse control, task initiation, self regulation, emotional regulation, and more.

What approach or methodology do you use during coaching?

We use a combination of strategies and tools to foster the development of EF skills with clients. We have a weekly check-in, set goals to work towards, and work together to reach those goals. We collaborate with teachers and parents for a team approach to support development and foster a growth mindset.

Will my insurance cover the cost of coaching?

We are considered an out-of-network provider, and while some of our services are covered by insurance, executive function coaching is not. We do, however, offer package rates at a reduced cost.

Please see our Billing & Insurance page for additional information.

What age group is this coaching service for?

Executive Function Coaching is for all ages, from children to adults. We serve anyone who needs support in these areas and is ready to make a change.

How involved can parents be with their child’s coaching?

We love to partner with parents to help them learn strategies to help their child build executive skills at home! We can also show you the range of services available to your child at Mind by Design and elsewhere to help them be as successful as possible.

Here’s What Parents Are Saying

My daughter with severe inattentive ADHD and anxiety has been working with Rachel Roth since the beginning of the school year. Rachel has developed personalized approaches that benefit my daughter at school and beyond. She has also helped my child become her own advocate in working with the teachers on accommodations and becoming more confident overall. Rachel provides a unique set of skills and expertise and has a good feel for what will and won’t work for her. Rachel has my child in control and responsible for her studies and assignments, communication with teachers, and overall academic progress which has had many benefits. Rachel’s highly personalized attention has been really effective for us and we are thankful to be working with her.

Parent

We were lucky to find Jana Parker and highly recommend her. She was warm, gracious, and didn’t patronize our teen (which a surprising number of professionals do). Her evaluation was quite thorough. Her report provided more than a diagnosis but also resources for us as a family. Months after her report was finished, I called her when I needed guidance, and she was incredibly helpful. Jana’s fees are on average with other providers (perhaps lower than most), and worth every dollar. If you need someone who understands what you’re going through and will walk with you through your child’s diagnosis and next steps, Jana is the person to call.

Parent

Jana Parker was fantastic through the entire process. She was great in making our kid feel comfortable, very prompt and clear in answering our questions on the process, and provided thoughtful and helpful suggestions. We really appreciated all the efforts she took to help and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Parent

My son has ADHD and has been working with Rachel for a year and a half now and we continue to see a lot of growth and improvement with managing his studies and activities. Rachel is an expert in the field and is a wealth of knowledge. She has been a consistent support for my husband and I as we try to figure out the best way we can support our son. She is easy to talk to and always has great ideas and solutions. Rachel also has a wonderful way of engaging with teens and my son truly enjoys her as his coach. We are so happy to be working with her!

Parent

I am 16 years old and have been working with Rachel for the past year and a half, it has been amazing and I have grown so much. I struggle with learning disabilities and Rachel has helped me navigate threw them and helped me gain so many new learning strategies to help me get through high school. She has helped me through time management as well as study habits, she is also very intelligent and helps me with all kinds of schoolwork. Overall, she has taught me so much and I would recommend her to everyone.
