Do Any of These Words Describe Your Child?

If so, your child is one of many students that struggles with Executive Function.

Executive Functions must be explicitly taught, practiced often, and coached. 

“Executive function refers to the cognitive processes required for planning, task initiation and follow-through, working memory, sustained attention, inhibition of impulses, goal-directed persistence, and performance monitoring.”

— Dawson & Guare, Coaching Students with Executive Skills Deficits

Executive function processes allow students to shift back and forth between the overall big picture and the small details required to achieve it. 

 In the 21st Century classroom, we have a rapidly advancing technological system that opens children and adults to a vast array of information that we need to handle efficiently and effectively. Students have more and more on their plates that they need to juggle to be successful in and out of the classroom. They need to master processes such as goal setting, short term and long-range planning, organization, cognitive flexibility, working memory, and self-monitoring. This has little to do with one's actual intelligence or IQ, and more to do with working smarter, not harder.

Would you like to take the next step?

 I offer in-person and virtual executive function coaching to work on the cognitive processes required for planning, task initiation and follow-through, working memory, sustained attention, inhibition of impulses, goal-directed persistence, and performance monitoring. Executive function coaching is ideal for students with weak executive skills such as time management and poor organization that prevent them from achieving at their highest potential.

Remember, Executive Function Development is a more reliable indicator of academic success than IQ tests. Latest research shows EF skills can be trained, just like you can train at the gym.
