Balanced Stone Stack
You are their rock.
And also the school planner, deadline enforcer, alarm clock... You've become the project manager for your child and it's
not sustainable. We get it. 
​
Executive Functioning (EF) Coaching
helps kids build systems so they can be their own manager —  ​
so you can go back to being a parent.

Our Approach to EF Coaching



Using an evidence-based, tailored curriculum, we work with your child to create a system they can use when these challenges arise.  We use a three-step approach, illustrated below.

Our recommendation is that your child completes 12 sessions to accomplish these steps.
We also have 6 and 20 session packages available. 
 

STEP ONE: 

​

Understand the Pattern.

We map how your child's attention, memory, and task initiation actually operate. The key to this step is insight. You can't "fix" something you don't yet understand.  We help bring awareness to their unique struggles in a non-judgmental, neurodivergent-affirming way. 

STEP TWO: 

​

Build the System.

We teach the skills and build the external tools — planning, time management, organization, follow-through — tailored to your unique child rather than pulling from a template or workbook. With over 100 protocols, we design the coaching specifically for them. 

STEP THREE: 

​

Make it Automatic. 

We practice the skills until your child runs the system independently at school, home, and during activities, with few prompts from you. In this step most of the initial teaching is done. This is where they practice and modify, as needed.
