Executive functions come from the prefrontal cortex area (behind the forehead) of the brain. It is one of the last areas of the brain to develop, and typically it does not fully develop until age 25 or later in some kids. Executive functions are daily skills that we need to successfully navigate through our days. The good news is that one can increase these skills with practice. Brains are neuroplastic, which means it's never too late to work on these skills, no matter what the starting skill level. An extensive body of literature in cognitive education proves that when kids are taught about how their brains work, they learn better. Pediatric Psychologist and Executive Function expert Dr. Lynne Kenney says "when children learn about how their brain works and why a particular task or activity will improve their thinking, learning or behavior, they become an integral part of the learning process. Their knowledge and active involvement in understanding why they are being asked to do a specific academic task makes them more motivated learners." Trying to change problem behaviors without understanding how one's brain works is frustrating to both parents and children. It is like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle without knowing what the "big picture" is. Often issues are a matter of lack of skill, not a display of will. Children do well when they can. I can help your child to be the best coach of their own brain- they are the expert in themselves already! Executive function skills include: Planning, Organizing, Time Management, Self Talk, Self Control, Task Initiation, Attention, Memory, Flexible Thinking and Perseverance. This is a one on one private format to give individual executive function coaching. They are scheduled as needed, so please send a request for times that work for you. Specific topics will be predetermined and agreed upon by parent in conjunction with me before each session, as to what their child specifically needs to work on, and any situations that would be discussed. If you schedule six sections then want to add more, I will give you a discount. This is NOT a therapy session.

My passion is educating children (and parents) about executive functioning and its developmental importance. Too many kids get labeled as "lazy" or "troubled", when a lack of skill is the culprit, not a stubborn "will".
This has led to extensive professional development training in executive functioning from leading experts in the field including an advanced certificate in EF for children and adolescents, and an advanced EF Mastery course of evidence- based strategies in attention, memory and self-regulation. More specific to ADHD was an intensive evidence-based Strategies course for managing ADHD across the lifespan.
