Executive Skills Coaching

Our personalized coaching services for executive functioning equips children and teens with the tools they need to succeed both personally and academically. Expert coaches work with each child to identify individual strengths and weaknesses, and then develop strategies to improve each child’s executive functioning skills.

Coaching is anchored by a culture of support and encouragement that fosters growth and success. With these personalized strategies in place, students are empowered to first discover their goals, and then learn how to achieve them. Not infrequently, conflicts arise when there is a mismatch between potential and performance.  This mismatch is sometimes worsened by indistinct goals and even more so a lack of coherent plan on how to achieve optimal performance.  Ultimately, executive coaching transitions kids from struggling with sometimes vague plans on achieving unclear goals, to a new direction, where striving with an individualized plan leads to thriving and meeting full potential.  Each individual plan is further advanced by collaboration between parents, coach and teachers to support the child.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Executive Functioning?

Executive functioning is a set of mental skills that enable individuals to plan, organize, prioritize, initiate, sustain, and complete tasks effectively. These skills include working memory, attention, cognitive flexibility, self-control, and time management, among others, and are essential for academic and personal success.

How often are coaching sessions?

Coaching is initiated with a free 30-minute parent consultation. This allows parents the opportunity to meet a coach and provide basic information about their child’s needs and areas of opportunity. This also provides parents a basic framework for what to expect in upcoming sessions.

After the initial parent consultation, parents can choose to set up a one-time student consultation to allow the child to meet and get to know the coach. If the child and parent agree that Executive Function Coaching would be beneficial then a course is initiated.  Courses are organized into ten weekly sessions scheduled at course initiation. Each session is 55 minutes long with 45 minutes dedicated to coaching and an additional 10 minutes of time to allow for review of any new strategies or to address any concerns from student, parent, teacher or coach. Building habits and learning new strategies takes time and effort, and is reflected in the commitment of 10 sessions at initiation.  After completion of 10 coaching sessions, parents and student can choose to enroll for additional 10-session courses.

What is the cost of Executive Functioning Coaching?

• 30 minute parent consultation - no charge
• 45 minute one time student consultation - $65
• 10-session bundle - price varies based on the specific needs of the student
