TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Palmer has been a blessing to our family. He has gone the extra mile to support our child and our whole family. He has provided very informative assessments, and his coaching has been instrumental in meetings at school. He has been and continues to be a lighthouse in navigating new waters.
Tony and Jessica G., Parents
It has been a privilege to work with Dr.Palmer! His insights and guidance were a tremendous help in navigating all things neurodivergence and parenting in general. The reassurance and validation he gave us in knowing what we were dealing with on a daily basis was not only typical but expected,
really helped us feel so much more at ease!
James and Melissa H., Parent
Dr. Palmer's collaboration transformed my classroom practice. Unlike typical consultations, he offered insights that changed my understanding of all students' needs, not just those with special needs. He helped me grasp the 'why' behind student behaviors and provided practical strategies I could implement right away. His methods challenged my views on classroom management in ways previous training hadn't, leading to remarkable improvements in student engagement and classroom dynamics.

Let Me Introduce Myself!
I'm Dr. D.A. (David) Palmer, Certified Parenting & Educational Coach, Consultant, & Speaker
As a parent, an educator, and a certified coach/consultant/speaker, I understand the joys and complexities of raising and teaching exceptionally wired (neurodivergent) children. I'm here to guide, empower, and support you every step of the way.
​
My journey into parent and educator coaching began when I realized traditional advice wasn't working for my family or my students. Raising five amazing teens and working as a K-12 teacher and principal, I discovered the power of strengths-based coaching and developed my Thriving Resilience Treehouse Model. Now, I am passing my experience and expertise (as a Doctor of Education in Special Education) to countless families and educators like you who are hungry for non-nonsense, practical, and researched-backed guidance and solutions.
So...when can we get started?
