flexible plans to fit your needs

A note from our founder
Dear Reader,
​
I created Blue Pencil to help students by bridging the gap in academic accommodations from elementary school to graduate school.
I was a student who excelled through grade school and college; but hit a wall while attending law school. I was struggling and I needed to figure out how to succeed. So I went back to basics, and did things my own way.
Prior to law school I had worked with children and young adults on the autism spectrum, providing coaching and building curriculum. What I found, is what had worked well for me in school, seemed to work well for my clients as well.
This connection led me to seek a diagnosis, and as an adult I was diagnosed with ADHD. Living with undiagnosed ADHD, paired with a passion for academics had led me to create systems and tricks to get by in school. ​They got me all the way to law school, and they are the bulk of Blue Pencil.
I see so many students like me, some of them hitting the wall as early as grade school.
​
Using my B.S. in Psychology from Brigham Young University, and my career experience building curriculum, I created a flexible system of coaching, templates, and resources for you.
All of our programs are evidence based; backed in psychological research, and what I believe to be the best indicator of success - having people try them out. ​
Blue Pencil's programs are never one size fits all, but I am confident they will be one size fits you. ​
Sincerely, ​
Alexis Heugly
