"Executive function strategies help students go beyond the content that is being taught, so that learning is process-based rather than only outcome-based."

Executive Function Coaching
Executive function coaching involves guiding individuals in developing and enhancing cognitive processes such as planning, organization, time management, and decision-making. Through personalized strategies and support, coaches help clients optimize their abilities to set goals, prioritize tasks, and overcome challenges, fostering greater independence and success in various aspects of life, including academics, work, and daily routines.
Executive Function Skills We Develop:
Organization
We help students develop effective organizational strategies, fostering a sense of control and order in their studies.
Attention / Focus
We teach students effective planning, goal-setting, and time management skills to sustain focus, and teach them about what the brain needs to best attend to tasks.
Time Management
We assist students in managing their time effectively through planning, prioritization, and self-reflection, ensuring each task receives the necessary attention.
Task Initiation
We assist anxious students by breaking down large tasks into smaller, manageable steps, helping them to get started more easily.
Working Memory
We aid students in improving memory and implementing systems to compensate for any deficiencies.
Stress Management
We teach students techniques for self-soothing during times of distraction and overwhelm, using reflection, breathing exercises, and systematic breaks.
Persistence
We help students establish foundational habits that directly contribute to their long-term academic, social-emotional, and personal goals.
Self-Advocacy
We help students learn to advocate for themselves, empowering them to communicate with teachers and problem-solve independently.
