The Intake Meeting is an inquiry meeting that gives us a chance to understand the changes you’re hoping to achieve with an executive functioning coach, while also allowing us to explain how we can help you reach your goals.

We also ask you/your student to share what qualities and experience they’re looking for in a coach so we can ensure a proper match.

By working together through a series of questions, we’ll determine if we’re the right fit for each other.

During the assessment process, we evaluate your/your student’s current executive function needs and personal preferences. The cost for our registration and assessment process is listed on our pricing page. This fee covers:

• A review of any assessments, IEPs, 504 plans, or other important documents you provide

• Initial consultations with teachers, mental health professionals, or other individuals you’d like us to collaborate with

During our weekly executive function coaching sessions, students form a collaborative partnership with their coach, designed to help them develop and strengthen their executive function skills. As taught by Sean McCormick, an EF Coach, we also define executive functioning skills through the acronym P.O.S.I.T.I.V.E., which stands for:

Planning, Organization, Self-advocacy, Initiation, Time management, Inhibition control, Visualizing outcomes, Evaluating priorities

By guiding our students to tackle their most difficult professional/academic  challenges while teaching these P.O.S.I.T.I.V.E. skills at the “point of performance,” we help them build a stronger growth mindset, resilience, and deeper engagement with their life in and out of the classroom.

Sessions are conducted in-person, if local and under 14, otherwise online, and utilize a multi-sensory approach.

We also provide 1-2 virtual check-ins between sessions for coaching clients aged 14+ (via email, text or facetime), offering solution-focused questioning and “proof-ability” tasks to support task initiation and completion.

For information on enrollment costs, please view the above “Service Offerings” section.

This meeting will include any other professionals on the team - psychologists/psychiatrist, tutors, teachers - to celebrate “wins,” identify adjusted or new goals or assign responsibility and an implementation timeline. This team meeting can be held every 5-6 weeks. What’s going well? What needs to change? Who does what by when?

The phase-out process is done gradually, allowing you as the coaching student to take responsibility for your own growing executive function skills while we reduce the level of support, giving students the space for independent practice.

Since we follow a model of weekly sessions, this might involve selecting a final billing date and spacing out the last four sessions over two months.

We encourage discussing a phase-out plan with your specialist during a family meeting.

While we recommend a minimum of 4 months of coaching to fully develop and apply the P.O.S.I.T.I.V.E. skills with support, many students benefit from longer-term coaching due to the increasing demands on their executive function as they move into higher grade levels or graduate from college and build professional lives or even families, where managing EF skills are of great significance
