You can navigate your child’s educational challenges & transitions.

We can help.

Together let’s cut through the noise, ease the tension, and map the path forward.

We help you through:

  • Daily tensions around school & schoolwork

  • Deciding whether to change schools

  • School applications

  • The college process

  • Strengthening communication between home & school

  • Homeschooling

  • Decisions around your child’s ADHD, dyslexia, ASD, or individual learning needs

  • Medical conditions & chronic illness affecting education

Map the Path was founded by educators Joanne M. Carris, PhD and Kiran H. Rikhye, MA.

Years of working with schools and families taught us that no matter how many skilled professionals are working with a child, the responsibility of handling big educational decisions and questions ultimately falls on parents’ shoulders. We’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming that can be. It's only natural that sometimes you, as a parent, need support.

That’s why we founded Map the Path: We help you help your child.
