Executive Function Coach

How We Help With Executive Function

Our online executive function training focuses on helping children of middle and high-school age build routines and practices that enable them to:

• Focus on important tasks like homework
• Avoid distractions in class
• Overcome difficulties with deadlines
• Direct their energy towards study, career, and life goals

When you come to us, your child will be assigned a trained executive function coach. We’ll start by listening and identifying how to improve executive function in your child – everyone is different, so listening is extremely important.

Our executive function coaching will then build an evidence-based executive functioning curriculum for your child. If the issue is a general lack of focus and struggling to achieve their potential, we’ll take an inclusive approach, identifying and addressing common problems in children with executive dysfunction.

Executive Functioning Skills We Teach

Key skills taught during our online executive functioning skills training include:

How to approach academic subjects. Children in middle school and high school with executive dysfunction typically struggle to focus on classroom subjects that involve a lot of listening. This includes core subjects like English, Math, and the Sciences – subjects they’ll need to succeed in if they want to achieve their life goals.

Recognizing that there’s nothing wrong with needing help with executive function challenges. A common barrier when improving executive functioning is the feeling that you’ll never be able to overcome your difficulties. It’s easy to feel down due to under-performance in core subjects when the problem is that you haven’t had the appropriate executive functioning training.

Nurturing other talents. Likewise, executive functioning skills for students are much easier to teach if they’re backed up with positive reinforcements. Many kids with executive function challenges have incredible talents in areas outside the general curriculum. We can help nurture these and transfer that positive energy into addressing other difficulties.
