Executive Functioning Tools and Development
Resources to help your student(s) grow their self confidence and independence!
Working Memory
If your student struggles with learning and following directions at home or at school, they may need help with improving their working memory. I can provide tools, activities, and strategies that help their short term memory including opportunities for multi-sensory learning, visual checklists, creative gameplay, and deep reading strategies.
Self-control
Students who have a hard time with controlling their behavioral impulses or are “hard to manage” are simply kids that are still learning how to communicate effectively. I can help your students learn to manage their impulses and emotional outbursts by providing flexible learning environments, firm and positive redirection, and by working side by side with your child to build systems that promote healthy responses and behavior.
Mental Flexibility
Students will be presented with a variety of activities to improve their cognitive adaptability in different situations. This will be done through the use of social stories, imaginative play, academic activities that require more than one solving strategy, and writing exercises that allow students to view a situation from multiple perspectives. These activities will help your student feel ready to face new challenges and have a growth mindset!
Empower your students to become independent learners
Many students who struggle with day-to-day learning might need to improve their executive functions. These can include, but are not limited to, an ability to prioritise schoolwork, tasks, or activities appropriately (for example, in order of importance or upcoming deadlines), time management skills, breaking down bigger tasks into smaller, more manageable tasks, or regulating their emotional responses to different situations without constant help from an adult.
I can help your students on an age and grade appropriate level by teaching them strategies for more effective planning, providing tools for emotional regulation and improving focus, and tips for effective multitasking. These services will be customized for each individual student based on their learning profiles, personal preferences, and specific areas of need.
