This service focuses on building the underlying skills students need to succeed, such as organization, time management, and task initiation. While tutoring supports specific subjects, executive functioning support helps students learn how to manage their work more independently.

 

Yes. Many students we work with have ADHD or executive functioning challenges. We focus on building practical strategies to improve focus, organization, and follow-through in school and daily life.

 

We support children, adolescents, and young adults. Sessions are tailored based on the student’s age, school level, and specific needs.

Session frequency depends on the student’s goals and needs. Most students attend weekly or biweekly sessions to build consistency and progress over time.

Coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and plan. We recommend checking with your provider for details about reimbursement for learning or support services.
