Executive Function Coaching is an ideal solution for elementary students who struggle with the process of learning.  Executive functioning skills are the mental skills that we use to achieve goals, and they are vital for academic success.  Students who struggle with executive functioning skills often experience difficulties with:

  • Keeping track of work
  • Understanding time
  • Remembering directions
  • Staying focused
  • Completing tasks
  • Brainstorming ideas
  • Beginning a task
  • Solving problems creatively
  • Reacting appropriately to disappointments
  • Understanding feelings and emotions
  • Transitioning to new activities
  • Adapting to new schedules
  • Completing neat work
  • Being aware of the effect of their actions
  • Thinking before acting
  • Making different choices

These struggles with executive function skills make learning much more difficult.  Our solution is to use a comprehensive approach with our students so that we can determine the main struggles, implement effective solutions, and achieve results!

Our approach:

  • We administer the BRIEF2© assessment to determine the areas that are causing the most difficulty for the student. This assessment is a 10-15 minute assessment that is completed by a parent and a teacher.
  • Our comprehensive program addresses the eight executive functioning skills identified within the BRIEF2©: Self-Control, Self-Monitoring, Flexibility, Emotional Control, Task Initiation, Working Memory and Attention, Planning and Time Management, and Organization.
  • We develop a custom intervention plan that begins by addressing the two main areas of need. Additional areas may be identified for later in the program. The plan has clearly defined goals and expectations that are specific to each student.
  • Our Executive Function coaches help students develop strategies in fun and engaging ways and then help implement them into their learning environments. We come to the home where the student feels most comfortable.
  • We communicate with the child’s teacher when appropriate to work together as a team for the child. We can also communicate with other professionals involved in helping the student grow and learn.
  • We continue to use informal assessments throughout the program, and adjustments are made to the plan as the student masters the skills. We focus on results and growth so that each student can develop into a confident, successful learner.
