How much does ODD coaching with Elizabeth cost?+
Pricing is personalized for each family's goals and needs. During your free discovery call, Elizabeth will recommend the right plan and session frequency.

Many families notice improvements within 4–6 weeks of consistent practice and strategy use.
Do parents take part in ODD coaching with Elizabeth?+
Yes — parent involvement is central to ODD coaching, since consistency at home is what makes new strategies stick.

Barrington ODD Coaching FAQ

Can ODD coaching work alongside a 504 plan or IEP in Barrington Community Unit School District 220?+
Yes. ODD Coaching is private-pay coaching that runs separately from any school plan, so a family can use both. Elizabeth works with the family, not the school, so families bring what they learn in coaching to school conversations themselves.
How does Illinois testing season affect ODD coaching?+
Illinois' spring 2027 Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) for grades 3–8 closes April 2 for paper testing and April 16 for online testing. Sessions are 100% virtual, so families can plan them around the school year.
