If you hired an executive function coach …

Where can I find an executive functioning coach fo my almost middle schooler?

What does it look like when you have a successful fit with the executive function coach? Ours is online and I think it’s pretty good, but I don’t see him really implementing the strategies and I’m trying to figure out if we need to change course.

They met twice a week by zoom - once for 60 minutes and once for 30 minutes. During exam time, we sometimes added 15 minute check ins. It wasn't a magic cure -- we still had trouble with implementation and work avoidance -- but it was still an improvement.

$150 for a zoom call is outrageous. Sorry

Used executive function coaches for two kids with ADHD. What did not work was working in a group where they would eventually get back to the kid who finished all assigned work. Also, not with someone who has poorly controlled adhd and gets upset with kid due to adhd traits. What did work is one on one counseling. First kid did one on one work where school assignment s were worked on together- first semester 2x / week and second semester once/ week. On own after that. Kid 2 worked through a curriculum of executive function skills, adapted the techniques after 8 or so sessions and no more needed. Look online for free webinars to find the strong programs.

I’m not familiar with this model can you just share the names of what you used?
