How can college students improve executive functioning?
Much like students in middle or high school, an executive functions coach would work with a college student on strategies that establish more concise structure in their college curriculum and personal life. This means adapting tools like calendaring, alarms, reminders, to-do list, post-it notes, journalling, meditation, etc.
How do adults learn executive functioning?
Adults learn executive functioning skills much like students. When a coach works with a student, we usually use the preset structure of school to help them learn and adapt tools for long-term independence. With adults, we use goal-orientated coaching strategies to develop goals, structure around those goals, and adapt strategies to accomplish those goals. We use goals to help adults struggling with executive functions to learn the strategies they need for long-term independence and continued growth.

An executive functions coach (EFC) works with a student to establish structure in their personal and academic lives for long-term independence.

How do executive functioning sessions work?
Every student of ours comes from a different background, so we always start with a 15 minute consultation to answer any general questions about executive functioning coaching. After that, we will schedule a session to run through some simple executive functioning strategies and end it with feedback and our suggested gameplan. From there, we like to structure one strategy session and either 1-3 check in sessions. This usually results in 1.5-2.5 hours a week with an executive functions coach.
Do executive functions coaches hold group sessions?
At EFC, we believe in an individualized approach to training executive function skills, but we also understand that group sessions are more budget-friendly. To that note, EFC’s coaches will take on group programs as long as each student is struggling with similar challenges and work well together.

Our hourly rate is $150 an hour. We encourage longer term commitments from our families as EF coaching is a process. We incentivize these commitments by offering discounts (15% for a month, 20% for 3 months, and 30% for 6 months).
