About me
Hello! I’m Kristin Hammack. I am a Behavior Coach and Executive Functioning Coach supporting neurodivergent adults, teens, and children in building practical, sustainable skills for everyday life. Much of my work today centers on adult independence—developing individualized, home-based programs that strengthen executive functioning, budgeting, daily living skills, socialization, community engagement, and confidence. I collaborate closely with families and multidisciplinary support teams—including therapists, transition programs, and other professionals—to create cohesive systems that foster autonomy while honoring each individual’s pace and goals.
My journey in behavior intervention and special education began over ten years ago. I started as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing relationship-based therapy in homes, schools, and community settings throughout Marin County and San Francisco while based in Santa Rosa. During this time, I learned the importance of applying evidence-based practices in ways that are flexible and deeply individualized—because no two people require the same approach. This foundation shaped my ability to adapt to complex situations, think creatively, and design skill-based programs that extend beyond clinical models and into real life.
A pivotal chapter in my career was working within a non-public, therapy-based school for neurodivergent learners. Collaborating with Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, Board Certified Behavior Analysts, and gifted educators strengthened my multidisciplinary lens and deepened my understanding of how communication, regulation, academics, and life skills intersect. While this early work was rooted in school-based settings, the insight I gained now informs my adult-focused practice—particularly in supporting individuals navigating independence, rebuilding confidence, and re-entering community spaces after periods of disruption.
Throughout my career, academic instruction has remained an integrated part of my work. I have supported learners in literacy, executive functioning, and individualized academic programming across age groups. Under the mentorship of the founder of Tattum Reading, I completed weekly training, observations, and co-teaching, and was later certified in Tattum’s phonics program—further strengthening my ability to provide structured, research-informed reading instruction when appropriate.
Today, I primarily support adults who are parent-supported or team-supported in building systems that promote independence and stability. My work includes independent living coaching, home and routine management, financial literacy and budgeting, social navigation, community integration, transition programming, and skill-building for greater self-sufficiency. While much of my practice now focuses on adults, I continue to work with children and teens through individualized, strengths-based behavior and executive functioning support.
In addition to my background in behavior therapy, I am trained in PEERs Curriculum, Circles Curriculum, and the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework. I have developed and led social, emotional, executive functioning, and life skills groups, as well as media literacy classes—all with a focus on empowering individuals to thrive in their environments and communities.
As a neurodivergent professional, I bring both personal and professional insight to my work. I understand the layered challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals and their families, and I am committed to offering support that is compassionate, research-informed, and thoughtfully individualized.
If you or someone you know is seeking guidance or support, I would be honored to connect.
