Executive function strengthening: children, adolescents & Adults
Organizational challenges caused by weak executive functioning and other challenges to attention are the root of many students’ struggles. The key to strengthening executive functions is consistency, focus and practice. Students work toward identifying and creating a unique and individualized system and set of strategies for their needs.
writing: children, adolescents & Adults
Writing requires a number of skills to co-occur before a word even gets on the page. It is no wonder that writing often comes with resistance when the physical act of holding a pencil, the generation of ideas, the cognitive ability to organize thoughts, the management of time must all take place simultaneously. Our work helps students become confident and competent writers by helping them to first see, then strengthen the many varied parts of this life long pursuit.
