Executive Function Services and Self-Management

Our Tutoring services provide an innovative approach to help your child become a successful student. We provide strategies to help your child overcome executive functioning and self-regulation deficits. Our comprehensive approach focuses on the mental processes that enable kids to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks, prioritize tasks, and control impulses successfully.

Task Initiation

Initiating a task means beginning it promptly without delay. This involves avoiding procrastination, even when faced with less desirable tasks such as starting homework or doing chores.

Flexibility

Being able to cope with change effectively is important. This involves having an open-minded approach, trying out new methods, and adapting when things don't go according to plan. It also means being able to see a situation from different perspectives, which is crucial for both problem-solving and gaining a better understanding of different viewpoints.

Self-Control

Making positive choices involves pausing to reflect, analyzing the situation, and choosing what benefits both the present and future. Practicing self-control is key in short-term (e.g. raising hand in class) and long-term scenarios (e.g. doing homework instead of going out with friends).

Time Management

Being able to estimate the duration of tasks, prioritize them, and use time effectively is essential for efficient work management. Good time management skills allow individuals to perform their work to the best of their ability and concentrate on tasks, whilst also ensuring that assignments are completed within the allotted time frame.

Attention

Strong attention skills are crucial for understanding instructions, participating in conversations, and staying on task. Focusing for a sustained period and ignoring distractions is key.

Perseverance

Being able to overcome obstacles is key to achieving goals. This means trying different methods, staying determined, and asking for help. Being persistent is crucial for success in life, as challenges are unavoidable. Challenges are an inevitable part of the journey.
