Transform Struggle Into Success
Transforming the way students learn — by reshaping how educators teach.
Join our FREE Webinar – Math and Writing Interventions included
We’ll teach you 3 interventions to support math while improving kids’
visual-perception, fine motor skills, and sequencing.
Are you struggling to support students with learning challenges like dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or classroom stress?
Without understanding the sensory-motor-memory connection, students can fall behind, and teachers can feel frustrated and overwhelmed.
🌟 Introducing the IMPACT Learning Framework
The IMPACT Learning Framework is a neuroscience-driven approach that empowers educators to support every learner — especially those with learning differences. We unlock each student’s full potential when we teach with the brain in mind.
At the core of this framework is Integrity — aligning who we are with how we teach, creating authentic, consistent learning environments.
Each pillar of the IMPACT Framework represents a powerful mindset that fosters confident, capable, and resilient learners:
Integrity
We align our thoughts, words, and actions to create trust in the classroom.
Metacognition
We uncover how students think so we can guide what they learn.
Perserverance
We fuel curiosity and resilience — because learning is a journey, not a race.
Adaptability
We flex our methods to meet diverse student needs while maintaining high expectations.
Confidence
We help students believe in themselves by building on their strengths.
Trancendence
We inspire lifelong growth by creating meaningful, repeated learning experiences.
Dotterer Educational Consulting provides professional development to remodel lesson plans and treatment sessions in math and writing. We will teach you to guide your students from exposure to mastery, fostering confidence, resilience, and lifelong success.
Let your conversation be always filled with grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. ~Colossians 4:6

FAQs
How do occupational therapists benefit from the math interventions?
Occupational therapists benefit from math interventions by gaining tools to support students’ fine motor, visual-spatial, and cognitive skills. These interventions help address challenges like number formation, sequencing, problem-solving, and organization, which are essential for math success. By incorporating these strategies, OTs can enhance students’ academic performance, confidence, and overall functional abilities in daily tasks.
Can an occupational therapist join Saturday Math or IMPACT Wednesday?
Absolutely! Saturday Math is designed and focused on amth conceptual knowledge. However, the non-academic connections made during this session are helpful to everyday interventions.
IMPACT Wednesday is an extension of the math concepts to share non-academic, neurosicence, and cognitive science foundations to how students learn the math material.
What does a multidisiplinary team look like?
Multidisciplinary teams consist of teachers and related service providers who collaborate using a workload model to co-teach and support students. However, staffing constraints may make in-person co-teaching challenging. In such cases, collaboration shifts to focused and effective lesson planning discussions, ensuring all team members contribute to meeting student needs.
How do I help students if they are not on my caseload?
Using the multidisciplinary team approach, all students, regardless of disabilty, IEP, or 504 benefit from the expertise of all team members.
What does IMPACT stand for?
IMPACT are the CORE VALUES of Dotterer Educational Consulting. These areas of the theme of all our courses and products.

Adaptability
We believe that education is unique for every student, and intervention strategies for each student are universal.
Confidence
We believe that confidence is the core of learning. Every student must be motivated to achieve focus and flow.
Transcendence
We believe that education is the journey of a lifetime. Experiences must be repeated frequently to unleash growth potential.
