[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It didn't help my DS much (high school student).  There needs to be [b]some intrisic motivation[/b] on the part of the child to change, no matter how challenging it may be.  That was lacking from our DS and it felt like another thing to pour hundreds into each month. I snooped through their text exchanges and it felt like I was paying someone to nag my kid about deadlines.  I suppose that could be helpful to some, but it didn't do much in our house.[/quote]

This! you can spend all the money in world but if your child is not motivated then it's like throwing your money in the garbage. I say this as a parent who did hire one for my DS in high school. He was somewhat ready for this but it really wasn't until he got to college that he got it together. Maturity plays a huge role in this.

FWIW - there are many great EF coaches who are not SLPs! [/quote]

I feel like the people writing these haven’t actually worked with an executive functioning coach. My child is very motivated. My child wants to do well. My child would do well if he could. He needs help – – he has a skills gap and we tried to support him in various ways for years and it was ruining our relationship. [b]We now pay an executive function coach around $125 an hour[/b] it’s done all remote and it is worth every penny even though it is a tremendous amount of money. [/quote]

Is $125/hr typical? Is virtual cheaper than in person? Can others share ballpark rates?[/quote]
