Since she was a teenager, Elaine Taylor-Klaus, PCC, only ever wanted to change the world; now, as an author, adult educator, and certified coach, she is doing just that. A trailblazing advocate for parents of complex kids, Elaine co-founded the ground-breaking ImpactADHD.com in 2011 to provide coaching, training and support for parents who were struggling to raise kids facing challenges with life and learning.

ImpactADHD’s innovations and blog have earned awards and accolades, and their programs, based on the innovative Impact Model, offer perspective, practical skills, and hope—so that parents can raise children and teens with confidence and calm.

Internationally recognized as a voice for empowering parents when raising kids in complex circumstances, Elaine loves to travel and speak at schools and conferences.
