Kari Lewis has over twenty year's experience working as an educator, consultant, and board-certified coach. She has been a classroom teacher, educational consultant, parent workshop facilitator, teacher trainer, and program innovator. She has a masters degree in special education from North Carolina State University, a doctorate in special education from North Carolina State University, and she did a post-doctoral study at the University of Kansas which focused on the quality of life for families of children with disabilities.

Teaching at the Institute of Logopedics in Wichita, Kansas was the motivation Dr. Lewis needed to pursue advanced degrees in special education. Since then, Dr. Lewis co-developed the Challenge and Champions Program at North Carolina State University. This program was developed to integrate academics and physical fitness skills to help middle school children with LD and/or ADHD become more independent in the classroom.

During the summers of 1995 and 1996, Dr. Lewis was the educational coordinator for the Multimodal Treatment Study for Children with/without Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder at Duke University. This national study is recognized world-wide as one of the foremost research studies examining the most effective treatment for children with ADHD.

For the past 20 years, Dr. Lewis has been in private practice as an ADHD coach for children and adults. She has particular expertise in coaching children to improve time management, organization, and planning for tests and projects. She also specializes in coaching working adults, stay-at-home moms, college students, and professionals with ADHD.

She lives in Raleigh, NC with her husband and three English bulldogs, Aunt Bea, Boomer and Booker. Dr. Lewis enjoys traveling with her husband, reading, and running.
