Executive Function

Executive Function coaching is neither tutoring nor counseling, but a collaborative process in which coach and client identify weaknesses and implement strategies to achieve measurable goals.

Overwhelmed or under-performing students and adults who struggle to stay on task are most likely facing deficits in one or more areas of executive function.

The guidance and support of an Executive Function coach leads to increased self-esteem and decreased anxiety.

Areas of focus can include

  • maintaining a calendar and daily planner

  • breaking long-term projects into smaller steps 

  • turning in assignments on time/meeting deadlines

  • managing finances successfully

  • making time for self-care

  • organizing personal spaces like bedrooms, backpacks, and computer files

Galit Higgins, our executive function coach, is passionate about helping clients understand that executive function deficits do not define them. She recognizes their strengths and celebrates their achievements, no matter how seemingly insignificant. With compassion and patience, Galit is there with the tools, encouragement, and understanding to teach clients skills they will use in every area of their lives.
