Executive Function (EF) Specialists

We provide online, executive function coaching services for K-12 students.

Our mission is to guide middle, high school, and college students in overcoming procrastination, disorganization, and anxiety by teaching time management, prioritization, and communication skills so they feel motivated, prepared, and empowered.

Do you ever feel…
Exhausted from the nightly homework battles?

Unsure of how to help your child manage school given the variety of systems and approaches used by various teachers and schools?

Confused as to how to ensure your child consistently turns in well-done assignments in a timely fashion?
If you said “yes” to any of these…read below!

Could you imagine…
Your child​ having their own system to track and complete their assignments, prepare for tests and communicate with their teachers?
​
A family dynamic in which you focus more on a positive relationship with your child and spend less time checking their school portals?
​
Knowing your child is learning critical organization skills that will serve them for the rest of their life?
These results are 100% possible for you — we know because we see these transformations in families all the time.
Here’s how it works…

Step 1: The Inquiry Meeting
The inquiry meeting is an opportunity for us to learn more about the transformation you would like to see occur through executive function coaching, as well as an opportunity for us to share more about our process to support your goals. Through a series of questions, we will collaboratively identify if we are a “right fit” for each other.

Step 2: The Assessment
The assessment includes our initial meeting with you and your student, a review of any assessments, IEPs, 504 plans or other key documents, and initial consultations with teachers, mental health providers or other professionals you would like to connect us with.

During the assessment, we will evaluate your student’s current executive function skills to establish a baseline by which we will measure progress. We will also ask your student to describe the characteristics and experience they would like to have with their ideal coach, so we can match them appropriately.

The cost of our assessment is a flat fee of $295 which is charged when you complete our signup form.

Step 3: Weekly Executive Function Coaching
During the weekly executive function coaching sessions we establish a designed alliance with our students that allows them to strengthen their executive function skills. We describe executive function skills as P.O.S.I.T.I.V.E. skills that include planning, organization, self-advocacy, initiation, time management, inhibition management, visualizing outcomes, and evaluating priorities.

By guiding our students to address the most challenging dilemmas in their academic lives while explicitly teaching P.O.S.I.T.I.V.E. skills at the “point of performance,” our student’s begin to experience an expansion of their growth mindset, sense of resilience and overall engagement with the school process. All sessions are held online using a multi-sensory approach by one of our highly-skilled specialists.

If requested, we will also check-in between sessions using a combination of solution-focused questioning and “proof-ability” requests, to support both task-initiation and follow through.

The cost of our weekly coaching sessions is billed at rate of $175 per hour.

Step 4: Family Team Meeting
The Family-Team Meeting (FTM) is an opportunity for all of the key stakeholders on your student’s “team” to meet and engage in a process celebrating the wins (or micro-wins), identifying adjusted or new goals, or assigning responsibility and a timeline for implementation.

The key to a successful FTM is that it is run by a skilled facilitator who ensures who everyone has the opportunity to be heard, while centering the student’s voice as the driving force of the process.

Step 5: Phase Out
Phase out is approached incrementally with the goal of helping students take ownership of their developing executive function skills, while reducing the intensity of our intervention to allow for independent practice. We recommend a minimum of 6 months of coaching to fully integrate and apply the P.O.S.I.T.I.V.E. skills with guidance, but many students benefit from a more extensive timeline due to the increasing demands on their executive skills as the transition into higher grade levels.
