The Genesis of this Idea
Around April of 2025, I was approached by parents from the ICSB community concerning their son. He was struggling with his assignment completion and submission because his ADHD was hurting his focus. Prior to this, I was not aware of the concept of Body Doubling. However, John and Susan Cooper asked me to provide this as a 'service' for their son. We got started almost right away, a couple of days per week, and the results were beyond expectations. Their son's 15+ missing assignments were all turned in within the first two sessions, and we developed a system that would help him in the future as well. When I saw the success and the help it was to all of the Coopers, I thought of all the other students and parents who could benefit from this. Following my first Body Doubling interaction, John and I began to discuss how Buddy Doubles just might be a blessing for more ICSB parents and students.

All mentors considered for the role of a Body Doubler are high-achieving high school upperclassmen who have gone through training to understand all concepts of Body Doubling and our services. Parents will book a Body Doubler, and that mentor will spend time in preparation for each session. Each Mentor will undergo an in-depth training about the ins and outs of body doubling so that they are well prepared for your child's unique situation. After every session, mentors are required to send in a report about how it went, including a difficult aspect and a highlight. Buddies (your child) are encouraged to communicate their experience as well to both parents and Buddy Doubles.

Within just two weeks of meeting after school for an hour to an hour and a half, our son had caught up on all his missing assignments, created a plan to stay on top of his work, and raised his grades by a full letter in most subjects.
