Executive Function Coach
How do you remember what is important? Do you have trouble managing your time? Do you forget to complete an assignment or to turn it in?
Our one-on-one executive functioning training and individualized tutoring helps students build confidence and understand their unique learning profile. By understanding how their brain processes information, they develop a tool box of strategies to support their learning across school, work and in life.
Develop skills.
Think about all the things we need to remember both in school and in life. Who teaches these skills? How do you develop the skills needed to complete everyday tasks for a job or to finish school? Many skills can be taught. As an Executive Function Coach, specific strategies and building skills to promote independence are taught and reinforced through explicit instruction. Skills that are focused on are the following:
Planning-Understanding what to do and how long tasks will take to effectively accomplish them in a timely manner.
Organization-Developing and maintaining a system that keeps materials and plans orderly and easily accessible.
Task Initiation-Independently start a task, even if you don’t want to.
Metacognition-Being aware of what you know and how to effectively use it to help you learn in a more efficient way.
Study Skills-Identifying where you study, how long and set priorities/goals based on your desires.
Use of Assistive Technology-Matching assistive technology tools to fit your individual needs.
