Coaching that helps you get “unstuck” and back-on-track
Executive Function Coaching
Executive Function Coaching (EFC) is ideal for older students who need help
organizing homework and assignments
managing time
taking notes that make studying easier
ending procrastination
Coaching sessions help students understand their studying habits, the science of studying, and provide accountability.
Get rid of quick fixes and start lifelong habits
Executive Function Coaching helps you hit the “reset” button
Students who need Executive Function Coaching (EFC) are typically bright and capable, they just haven’t been taught the skills they need to thrive.
At Focus Speech Therapy we teach students the science behind how their brain works and build systems that help them go from last-minute cramming to confidently entering class ready for the test.
Tutoring focuses on learning specific content, coaching helps you understand how you learn.
You may have tried planners and apps and failed, but EFC provides real accountability and support. We help you figure out how.
Executive Function Coaching at a Glance
Elementary Students
Elementary students need both executive functioning help, as well as, academic support.
Begin to understand and utilize checklists through a “Get Ready, Do, Done” model to complete in-class work and homework.
Understanding time management.
Most younger students also benefit from structured sessions addressing academic struggles in reading and writing.
Note: Elementary students typically do need support to help fill in the academic gaps they may have missed. They are offered a hybrid of both language therapy (e.g., reading and writing support) and EFC services. This is not offered for older students.
Middle School
Middle school students are moving into more independence but may need help with:
Tracking their habits and grades.
Understanding how to leverage class notes, homework, and quizzes, to study for exams.
Follow and utilize the science of learning and the study senses to retain information taught and understand how they learn best.
High School & Beyond
Older students start with weekly 1:1 sessions, but then move to monthly. Older students benefit from:
Honing class notes
Identifying quizzable study tools
Developing study plans that work
Overcoming procrastination
Note: buy-in from older students is essential. Strategies will not work if students are unmotivated to make changes.
