Elaine Taylor-Klaus is a professional certified coach, parenting coach, writer, speaker and mother in an ADHD family of five. The Co-Founder of ImpactADHD, Elaine provides ADD Parent Support for managing "complex" kids with ADHD and other challenges. ImpactADHD’s coaching and training programs are dedicated to effectively support entire families by helping parents learn how to deal with a child with ADHD. Using online, group and personal coaching, as well as articles, blogs, forums and selected resources – all in an interactive format – ImpactADHD.com teaches parents to develop personalized strategic plans for themselves and their families.

Designed specifically to bring the effectiveness of coaching to parents in a way that is both accessible and affordable, the positive purpose of ImpactADHD is to coach, support and educate parents of kids with ADHD. Often the missing link in ADHD treatment and management, parents dramatically improve their kids' success when they take a coach-approach to parenting.

Through coaching with Elaine, and public presentations to schools and parent groups, parents are inspired to confidently raise successful, independent children. Elaine coaches parents, and teaches them how to use those skills to communicate more effectively with their kids.
Elaine’s husband, David, is also her business partner in their shared company, Touchstone Coaching, which is the parent company for ImpactADHD and DTK Coaching.

The Touchstone Method – focus|clarity|action™ –

I understand gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) kids.

I've always been drawn to bright, passionate kids who struggle or are misunderstood because of their behaviors, big emotions, or learning differences.  I love these kids' fierce integrity, emotional honesty, and willingness to say what’s on their mind. I love working with their parents too, who often delight in their children and work double-time to support them despite the lack of tailored resources and relevant supports.

As a former gifted kid raising an intense gifted/2e preschooler, I understand the issues from the inside out and have an intuitive grasp of gifted families’ experiences.  

I've conducted award-winning research on giftedness and twice-exceptionality, and I've supported gifted/2e kids and their families for over 12 years as a teacher, therapist, assessment provider, psychologist, school consultant, and now a parent coach.   

Dr. Samantha Goldman is a pediatric occupational and feeding therapist who's mission is to help parents FINALLY understand sensory processing, how to support their child’s unique needs, and navigate those tough (but inevitable) moments with confidence. As a neurodiversity affirming OT, she believes that sensory challenges are not the fault of the child, or the parent, but rather a mismatch between the world and your child's personal sensory needs. And when you finally understand and learn what's going on in your child's unique body, that's where the magic happens, and life becomes less chaotic and a lot more fun!

My masters is in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Dayton. I am trained in the SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) method, and Exposure Response Prevention for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have post-grad certification in Infant-Toddler Mental Health from Arcadia University, and completed the certification training for postpartum mood disorders through Postpartum Support International.

My work is further informed by my time as a parent educator for the Oregon State Extension Services and as an instructor in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies for the Ohio State University.

I have also worked as a preschool teacher, childcare site director, and family case manager. 

I help parents drowning in daily behaviors, putting out fires, and walking on eggshells with not only their children but also often family, friends, or even their spouse. I help to create permanent, life altering changes in the relationships that matter most.

I’m a traditional naturopath,  patented inventor, and multi-passionate entrepreneur. As a health and wellness speaker, I’m focused on the ways chronic inflammation influences our bodies and our lives… and what each of us can do to get  rid of it in order to live happily and comfortably. Without pain or discomfort from disease symptoms.

I started writing my natural living and healthy eating blog, “Effortless Eating for Healthier Bodies,”SM in 2008 as a place to share recipes, healthy eating tips, and natural remedies for common ailments. It has evolved into a venue for me to  share my best natural remedies and solutions, rave about my favorite natural foods or products, and rant about outrages like carcinogens in sunscreens or pharmaceutical drugs in our water supply or GMOs in our food chain. I am a believer of what Hippocrates said so famously in 400 BCE: Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

I’ve been living with Multiple Sclerosis since 1999, though you wouldn’t know it as my last serious MS attack was in 2002. From the beginning when I awoke blind in my right eye two weeks before my thirtieth birthday, my husband insisted my food choices (mainly my Diet Coke-Crystal Lite-Gummi Bears lifestyle) played a role in how I was feeling. It was he who first turned my attention to the role food plays in the body.

Along the way, I’ve learned a lot from studying nutrition and food. After I changed my own diet and invented a way to make it easier to eat healthier, I introduced my newly patented cooking method through a unique cookbook (it won some awards – they are listed at the bottom of this page!) and toured the country speaking about nutrition and offering cooking classes. For a couple years in there I performed an average of 100 times/year – it was a crazy schedule to keep, especially while my kids were young!  Here are some of my television and radio appearances. Have you seen my TEDx talk?
