Our Mission

At Frankenberger Associates, our mission is to empower individuals of all ages with the tools, strategies, and confidence they need to thrive—academically, socially, emotionally, and professionally. We are committed to delivering highly personalized, strengths-based support through expert coaching, assessment, and collaboration. By meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique learning profile, we help turn challenges into growth and potential into progress.

Our Story: A Legacy of Empowerment

Frankenberger Associates was founded in 1987 by Caryl Frankenberger, a passionate psychoeducational diagnostician who wanted to understand and support students with learning differences. What began as a small practice focused on diagnosing learning challenges quickly became more comprehensive.

As Caryl worked with families, she recognized their struggles beyond just diagnosis. She realized that these families truly needed personalized, practical solutions to empower their children. This insight led to the expansion of Frankenberger Associates into a full-fledged Learning Solutions Center.

Our deeply individualized approach has positively impacted thousands of students and their families, fostering academic and social success. We remain committed to our founding principle: ensuring every student has the tools they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

Our Approach: Turning Challenges into Strengths

At Frankenberger Associates, we specialize in personalized support for children, teens, and adults navigating executive function challenges, learning differences, ADHD, and social-emotional needs. Our approach is rooted in customization—because meaningful progress starts with understanding the individual. Every client receives a plan tailored to their learning profile, strengths, challenges, and real-world goals. We combine evidence-based strategies with practical coaching to strengthen skills like attention, task initiation, time management, organization, emotional regulation, and social communication. Whether it’s a student struggling to stay on top of schoolwork or an adult seeking a career change or greater structure and focus in daily life, we’re here to help clients build confidence, independence, and long-term success.

Matthew Woodhall, Head of School, Woodhall School

This course was exactly what I needed to feel more confident in my role as Director of Academic Support. The modules were comprehensive and practical with supporting materials to reinforce the topics. The fact that I can continue to access the videos and readings upon completing the course has been a fantastic resource for me. All educators would benefit from this course.

Leslie Creus, Director of Academic Support/EAL Department Head

I loved this course and wish everyone at Middlebridge could take it. For folks entering into the profession or looking to have an update on learning challenges, the videos and supplementary readings were on point. I loved the processing speed and working memory videos as so often people do not realize how this impacts the learner. The EF video was excellent and tangible as was the strategies for teachers. It is very rare when you have a PD with actual strategies offered. I loved the evaluation section and questions to be posed by admissions professionals and teachers in the classroom...

Leslie Creus, Director of Academic Support/EAl Department Head, EF Academy

This 6-module online certificate course is the best training I have ever participated in. As an IEC who provides high school and college consulting for students who have specific learning, cognitive and/or developmental challenges, the course deepened my understanding of learning challenges, and my ability to read and interpret evaluations. I developed new questioning techniques to discern my students' learning strengths, average abilities, and challenges. I watched videos and read the supplemental articles on my own timeline, there was no pressure. Quite simply, this course was a game changer for me and I think it will be the same for...

You have been an incredible resource for my son these past two years. I can’t believe how much he has learned and how much his confidence has grown. Thank you for being so kind and such a good teacher.

I wish I found this program earlier. My son and I are both so grateful to be here now. Everyone at Frankenberger Associates has been completely amazing! Their process utilizing real life actionable teaching has been life changing! There truly is nothing more rewarding than seeing your child “understand” the value of friendships and then to have the tools in real tangible step by step guides. I highly recommend Frankenberger Associates to anyone with a child struggling to figure out their social world.

Traci, Parent

My experience with my coach and executive function coaching as a whole has been life changing. Coaching has altered various facets of my daily life, from my morning routine to strategies aiding productivity at school, and a much needed introduction to self-care practices like yoga and meditation. Further, my coach has opened my eyes to the world where negativity does not rule my life. I am now able to recognize my thoughts and actions and reframe them into a more positive outlook. With the guidance of my coach, I have been actively combatting my dependency on extra stimuli that my...
