As a time management educator in a private practice, Marydee Sklar has helped families struggling with time management for over twenty-nine years. Her unique approach to teaching time management comes from two perspectives. As a reading specialist she knows the importance of teaching concepts in a hands-on, visual, sequential, manner. Second, her own brain has significant executive function deficits, so she understands the challenges from the inside. Once she solved her own time-management issues, she developed a course to help others.

She is the author of three Seeing My Time™ books, including her book for parents: 50 Tips to Help Students Succeed.
