Socials Skills: Executive Functioning
Students with suspected or diagnosed LDs often struggle with their executive functioning skills. Due to high demand, we are proud to offer this program. The aim of this program is to support middle school and high school students by providing 9 weeks of learning strategies coaching that will help them learn the skills they need to independently complete homework assignments, larger projects, and/or study for tests.
Program Model
Our 9-week Executive Functioning program is run by a learning strategist in a small group in-person setting. Students will have the opportunity to set goals for themselves, and learn the skills they need to successfully complete school assignments and projects. Topics will be determined based on the unique needs of the students and may include, but not be limited to: planning, setting up your workspace to limit distractions, chunking, studying for tests, creating task motivation, self-awareness and monitoring of progress, and developing intrinsic motivation.
