Meaghan Peterson, M.Ed.,

Certified Executive Function Coach

My Professional Journey

Every step of my career has reinforced one belief: with the right support, strategies, and encouragement, every student can build the skills needed to become more confident, independent, and successful.

🍎 Classroom Educator

15 Years of Teaching Experience

For 15 years, I worked as a classroom teacher, helping students with diverse learning styles build confidence, develop strong learning habits, and overcome academic challenges. It was during these years that I discovered my passion for teaching the executive function skills that empower students both inside and outside the classroom.

🎓 Higher Education

At Curry College, I supported prospective students and their families as they navigated the transition to college. This experience deepened my understanding of the unique academic, executive function, and social supports that help students thrive in higher education.

🧠 Founder, On the Ball Coaching

Recognizing the growing need for individualized executive function coaching, I founded On the Ball Coaching to provide personalized support for middle school, high school, college students, and young adults. My coaching helps clients strengthen organization, time management, planning, self-advocacy, confidence, and independence through practical, strengths-based strategies.

💼 Employment & Executive Function Coach

Today, I also serve as an Employment and Executive Function Coach with Curry College's Neurodiversity Center for Excellence, where I help neurodivergent young adults develop the executive function and workplace readiness skills needed for meaningful employment and long-term success. This role allows me to bring current, evidence-based employment coaching practices into my work with clients at On the Ball Coaching.

How This Experience Benefits My Clients

🟦 A Strong Educational Foundation
Fifteen years in the classroom gave me firsthand insight into how students learn, where they struggle, and the strategies that help them succeed.

🟦 Understanding the College Transition
My experience in higher education allows me to guide students through the increasing expectations of college life with practical, real-world strategies.

🟦 Specialized Executive Function Coaching
Through On the Ball Coaching, I provide individualized, strengths-based coaching that helps students develop the habits and systems needed for lasting independence.

🟦 Real-World Career Readiness
My work coaching young adults preparing for employment strengthens my ability to help clients develop executive function skills that extend beyond school and into adulthood.

My Approach

My coaching is built on trust, encouragement, accountability, and practical strategies that students can immediately apply in their daily lives. Rather than focusing solely on academic performance, I help students develop the habits and systems that lead to lasting independence, resilience, and confidence.

Whether a student is learning to manage homework, preparing for college, or navigating the transition into adulthood, my goal is the same: to help them develop the skills they need to thrive long after our coaching ends
