ADHD Coaching
Executive Functioning
Executive functioning is a term that describes someone’s ability to manage a variety of tasks and processes that often come about in day-to-day life. The parts of the brain that control executive functioning are responsible for helping us initiate tasks, organize and prioritize, plan ahead, shift from one task to another, control emotions, remember details, and more.

All of us need executive functioning skills to go about daily life, regardless of age. As we get older and take on more responsibilities, executive functioning skills become more important. Many of us struggle with one or multiple executive function skills. It is very common for people with ADHD or various learning disabilities to struggle with executive functioning, but fortunately, this can improve with guidance from an experienced coach!
The skills and strategies that you or your child work on in coaching will be designed specifically for your unique goals and needs. Some examples of EF skills include:
- Focusing on the task at hand
- Initiating or inhibiting activities
- Planning ahead and estimating the time required to complete a task
- Monitoring and modulating emotions
- Developing and using routines
- Managing and retrieving information (i.e. memory management)
- …and much more!
All providers are certified and highly experienced in and certified in research-backed approaches, and are experienced in remote learning. Most of our coaches come from a teaching background and have headed their own private practices for years.
Within the first two weeks, we will always conduct a baseline assessment of skills to determine where a student is across each of the skills mentioned above. From there, our tutors will design a lesson plan that focuses on key areas of improvement, while also reinforcing foundational skills. We use a strengths-based approach to build confidence in each student as they learn new concepts.
