[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This discussion is really interesting and informative. We are trying to figure out if it would be worth it to get an EF tutor for our middle schooler with ADHD. He struggles a LOT with getting schoolwork done. And definitely with organization. But I don’t understand how the EF coach can help. Half the time, he is not able to get started or not able to sustain attention. And those problems seem so much worse than the organization issues. Organization is a mess too but even if he was more organized, it seems like he would still need daily support to get started and then to sustain attention throughout. Never mind following instructions, writing his name down, and putting the paper in the backpack when done. Which of these skills can an EF coach, especially a virtual one, help with? Even if we covered the instructions, name, and backpack through EF support, wouldn’t we still have a challenge with getting started and sustained attention? So, Mom still spending a few hours a day on ADHD support anyway? [/quote]

DP---I have the same questions as you.  I don't understand how a weekly virtual EF coach helps.  [/quote]
