Executive Functioning Coaching
Executive Functioning Coaching helps children and teens develop the skills needed to succeed academically and socially. Wolff Child Psychology provides comprehensive and effective solutions for students struggling with executive functioning skills. Our coaching services focus on improving organization, time management, and planning skills, empowering your child to reach their full potential.
Executive Functioning Coaching: Academic
Academic executive functioning coaching supports students in 5th-12th grade and into the early college years who face challenges with planning, organization, and perseverance. These skills are fundamental to academic success but can be particularly difficult for some students to develop and apply effectively. Our coaching approach goes beyond basic tutoring by integrating psychologically informed strategies that are tailored to each student’s unique needs and challenges. We also provide substantial support with reading analysis/comprehension and writing.
For students with learning and attention struggles such as ADHD, Dyslexia/Dysgraphia, and ASD, coaching can be especially beneficial. These students often experience difficulties with organization, time management, and task completion, which can significantly impact their ability to demonstrate their full potential academically. Coaching helps students integrate more effective executive functioning strategies into their daily lives, enabling them to navigate challenges with greater confidence and success.
Our coaches work closely with students, parents, and schools to develop individualized, attainable goals and provide concrete support to help students achieve them. Whether working in your home, school, at our office, or virtually, our coaches are dedicated to helping students build the skills and confidence needed to succeed academically.
Social, Emotional, and Behavioral
Executive functioning skills play a crucial role in a child’s social, emotional, and behavioral development. Children and teens with executive functioning challenges often find it difficult to use effective behavioral and emotional regulation strategies, impacting their ability to make sound choices and manage stressors in various settings. Wolff Child Psychology provides psychologically informed executive functioning coaching to support children from birth through the teenage years.
Executive functioning coaching can be particularly beneficial for youth with significant social-emotional, attentional, and behavioral struggles, which may be associated with clinical diagnoses such as ADHD, ASD, depression, and anxiety. We understand that each child is unique, so our coaches work closely with parents, children, and teens to craft individualized and attainable goals. We provide concrete supports to help them successfully achieve these goals, whether through in-person sessions at our office, in your home, school, or virtually.
For some children, coaching may involve a heavier parent and teacher component to integrate strategies such as visual schedules, emotion regulation activities, and sensory breaks. For others, it may focus more on individual sessions with the child or teen to support anxiety and emotional coping strategies.
Collaboration with Licensed Clinical Psychologists
Our coaching approach incorporates collaboration with our licensed clinical psychologists, who regularly review progress and provide additional insights to ensure a comprehensive and effective experience. This approach allows us to integrate recommendations from private and public school evaluation reports, including embedding 504/IEP accommodations and intervention goals into coaching sessions. By combining the expertise of our coaches and psychologists, we provide students with the support they need to thrive academically and develop lifelong skills for success.
