It all began with Emily.
Emily is a unique, intelligent, creative, artistic, funny, engineering-minded, problem solver who is going places!
She has so many amazing talents and can truly take on anything she wants to in her life. Sometimes wanting to do something and the ability to do something tends to fall apart when you are a teenager with adhd, anxiety, and depression.
School is a double edged sword for Emily as she is pretty smart and loves to learn new things, especially when it comes to science, robotics, space, graphic design, and so many other topics. If you catch her attention, she is insanely engaged and her face lights up. However, school isn’t all about the novel conversations and idea creation (but how cool would that be?) but actually includes a lot of box checking. Checking the box for completing assignments, turning in assignments, and other mundane tasks that just don’t create a spark of enjoyment or purpose for Emily.
After many years of dealing with issues regarding behavior (eg shouting out, talking too much), fighting to get assignments home or to school, getting assignments turned in, and the excess missing assignments we decided to create a way for Emily to be happier while completing those mundane tasks.
