EFC has successfully provided academic support to students whose stories are detailed in the blogs below. Executive function skills stress not only emotional but mental support. One of our students, Bridget M., had an emotional fear of asking people for help. With an EF coach, she was able to learn to self advocacy strategies which helped in academic support. In another case, our high school student, Ramzy L., was behind in submitting 50 assignments and suffered from avoidance anxiety. By being his academic support and EF coach, we taught him organizational skills such as calendaring and scaffolding. It took him a lot of trial and error and grit to get through it. Through weekly check-ins with us, he was able to receive the needed academic support to turn in his assignments, raise his grades, and even successfully get accepted into his dream university.
