Who Created This Resource
We build simple, low-friction executive function tools shaped by lived neurodivergent experience and professional training, so you get clear steps that fit real life.
CHRIS HANSON // Founder of Life Skills Advocate
Hi, I’m Chris. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and moved to the Seattle area in 2008. I am a neurodivergent adult and a former special education teacher. In 2019 I started Life Skills Advocate to create the kind of practical support I wished I had in high school and early adulthood.
I have about eight years of classroom experience and more than twenty years of lived experience with ADHD and anxiety. My work focuses on simple systems that reduce overwhelm at school, work, and home. I care about clear steps, realistic follow through, and tools that fit real life.
Outside of work I enjoy time with my wife and son, gardening, and racquetball. I am grateful for the community that uses our resources and shares feedback so we can keep improving together.

I hold a master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from St. Cloud State University and undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Family Social Science from the University of Minnesota. For over a decade I have worked with neurodivergent children, teens, and adults in home, school, and clinic settings.
My writing centers on practical strategies that respect autonomy and reduce overwhelm. I aim for clear explanations, doable next steps, and tools that help people use their strengths in everyday life.
