Executive Function Coaching
When students are trying to manage their health needs and academics it’s critically important that they have systems and structures in place. Finding ways to study and complete tasks requires organization and planning. Our brand of executive function coaching focuses specifically on students with physical disabilities and health conditions who are learning to manage their needs independently. We are here to work with your student and identify transferable tools and strategies to support them in high school, college, and beyond. During our first meeting we will assess the students healthcare needs, identify areas that require support, and work with the student to set up a schedule to hone their skills, so that they will be more likely to succeed. In one-on-one meetings we will develop personalized information, tricks, and tips to help your student develop lasting and transferable skills to help them be more successful in school.
Descriptions of Services We Offer:
– Medication management: We will work with your student to create a system where they will move towards independent medication management, including medication administration, monitoring, and refills.
– Healthcare needs: Does your student have a list of the doctors they see and the conditions they treat? Are they able to schedule appointments and keep track of treatment? Are they confident and able to ask questions? We will work with your student to ensure that they know their doctors and treatment schedule, and have the tools to make their own appointments, prepare and ask questions, and effectively communicate their needs.
– Time management: Does your student struggle to keep track of school work, appointments and commitments? Keeping their needs in mind, we will work with them to develop systems and strategies to make the most of their time throughout the day.
– Study skills: Students sometimes lack the skills to allow them to concentrate, listen, take notes, memorize, stay motivated, and prepare for exams. We work with your students to hone their skills so that they can be effective and efficient.
