Student Coaching
Whether your child struggles with homework completion, losing materials, task initiation, or fails to turn in completed homework, executive function coaching can help support them in developing a system and routine that is sustainable, allowing them to become independent learners and thinkers.
Coaching sessions will support students in prioritizing their assignments based on the importance and due date, break down larger assignments into smaller more manageable tasks, how to effectively prepare for tests, how to manage their time and keep track of due dates, how to self-advocate when they are in need of help, how to monitor and assess their level of understanding, and to develop and maintain an organization system that works for them.
Parent Coaching
Children often present a unique set of challenges that can be overwhelming for parents to navigate alone. The coaching process avoids blaming and judgement and instead provides support and guidance that leads to empowerment. Through the coaching relationship, parents will be able to create conditions for their child to succeed and feel prepared to implement effective behavioral and academic interventions.
