Who Lucy works with

Lucy works with parents of children, teens and young adults. Some students are sensitive, quirky or socially awkward. Others have learning disabilities such as dyslexia or ADHD. Some face mental health, substance use or behavior struggles. She also helps young adults aged 18 to 30 and older who did not succeed in college or who struggle to function.

How Lucy works

The Elm Street team visits campuses across the country before it refers a family. Consultants spend time on each campus. They study how schools teach students who learn differently, how they provide grade-level content, and which ones run social skills programs well. They also look at learning centers, counseling centers, school philosophy and social climate. Families can start with an inquiry call.
