Executive Function skills?
What are those?

Executive Function skills are a set of cognitive abilities that help individuals plan ahead, stay organized, regulate thoughts and behaviors, stay focused, and achieve their goals. Each of these skills can be taught, learned, and applied at any stage of life. Executive Function coaching helps improve:

  • Time management
  • Maintained focus
  • Task initiation
  • Organization
  • Prioritization
  • Stress management

“Executive Function Coaching has been a lifesaver for our teen son. Once he began getting Executive Function coaching from Beyond BookSmart, we saw a tremendous gain in his ability to manage the work expected for his grade level.

Knowing that he had a trusted resource to turn to (his coach), made him a more cheerful person and gave him a sense of empowerment. Coaching is not just for ‘failing students.’ It is for students who want to learn to be the best they can be with a set of tools that will carry them through life in both the work world and the social world.”
