Life as a neurodivergent person can be challenging. The world isn't built for us, even with recent well-intended inclusion efforts. When everything is designed as "one size fits all," the beautiful variety of cognitive and processing styles gets left behind. Every person on the neurodiversity spectrum is having their own unique experience, and no one else can fully know what their world is like. That can feel isolating, but it's also empowering: everyone is unique and deserves a fulfilling life on their own terms.
My Approach
As a neurodivergent person and coach, my goal is to support and guide others in my community to live their best, most comfortable lives. While the world isn't built for us, we can make changes and develop systems that work with our brains. We can create spaces where we thrive!
At Scatterbrain Systems, I work with you to build personalized strategies and systems that support what matters most in your life. Whether you're a parent of a neurodivergent child seeking solutions, a college student struggling to stay on track, a professional navigating workplace challenges, or a teen just trying your best, we can build something that truly serves you.
For Schools & Organizations
I also partner with schools to provide professional development and consulting services. Through customized learning modules and training, I help educators understand neurodiversity and implement practical, affirming strategies that support all learners.
Meet Your Coach
Hey, I’m Lainey.
I wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood. My first diagnosis came by accident in my early twenties, and the second followed years later. That means I spent 27 years struggling without the language, support, or understanding I needed. I didn’t know why things felt harder for me than they did for others. I could ace every test but couldn’t maintain lasting friendships. I could read a book a day but had trouble processing verbal directions. I could teach myself anything, but never in the “right” way.
Everything began to shift in college, when I finally had the freedom to explore the world beyond my small hometown. Through trial, error, and plenty of burnout, I started building systems that helped me navigate life with greater clarity, energy, and self-compassion. As I dove deeper into the fields of neurodiversity, behavior science, and psychology, I eventually found my way into special education.
There, I discovered something powerful: the very challenges I faced growing up could become a roadmap for others.
I spent years creating personalized learning plans, advocating fiercely for neurodivergent students, leading professional development workshops on behavior and relationship-building, and coaching friends and family through their own challenges: all because I loved it.
Eventually, I realized my true calling wasn’t confined to the classroom. I left traditional education to fully dedicate myself to advocacy and individualized support for the neurodiverse community—and that’s how Scatterbrain Systems was born.
It’s an honor to turn my lived experience, training, and passion into something meaningful and sustainable. I know firsthand how hard it can be to find the right support. And now, I get to be that support for others.
