Executive Functioning Coaching for Middle School Students

Support your child in learning how to start, stay with, and finish their work—while building the skills and awareness needed for independence.

We help students understand where they get stuck, develop strategies that actually work for them, and build systems they can begin to use on their own.

Who This Is For

This support is designed for middle school students who are:

diagnosed with or suspected of having ADHD or executive functioning challenges

capable, but struggling to keep up with increasing academic demands

having difficulty starting homework or tasks independently

becoming overwhelmed, shutting down, or avoiding work

needing more structure, but also ready to begin building independence

What Looks Like “Lack of Effort” Often Has a Different Explanation

Many students are told they need to try harder, be more responsible, or stay more organized.

But often, what looks like avoidance or inconsistency is actually a breakdown in the executive functioning processes needed to start, sustain, manage, and complete tasks.

As demands increase in middle school, these breakdowns become more visible—and more frustrating for both students and parents.

When students begin to understand where they are getting stuck, they can start to approach their work differently—and more effectively.

START

Can my child
get going?

Starting is often the hardest part. This is where kids get stuck, avoid, or need a lot of prompting.

The Rhythm of Doing™

Every task comes down to three simple questions:

When you know where things are breaking down, you can respond more effectively—and your child can build independence over time.

STAY

Can my child
keep going?

Once they begin, can they stay focused, manage frustration, and follow through?

FINISH

Can my child
wrap it up?

Can they complete the task, check their work, and transition to what’s next?

How Middle School Coaching Works

Middle school coaching is a structured process designed to help students build awareness, develop strategies, and begin managing their work more independently.

Step 1: Discovery Call

We begin with a free call to determine whether coaching is a good fit for your child and your family.

Step 3: Weekly Support & Problem-Solving

We meet weekly with your child to:

reflect on what worked and what didn’t
identify where their process broke down (Start, Stay, Finish)
learn and apply strategies that match those moments
plan for upcoming assignments, tests, and responsibilities

Step 2: Assessment & Planning

We meet to understand how your child approaches their work, where they are getting stuck, and what support they need. From there, we develop a clear plan.

Step 4: Maintenance & Next Steps

Over time, we shift toward helping your child take more ownership of their work, reflect on their own patterns, and use strategies more independently.

What Students Often Gain

The goal is not perfection.

The goal is helping your child feel more capable, more in control, and less overwhelmed.

Students often leave with:

a clearer understanding of how they learn and where they get stuck
improved ability to start and follow through on tasks
strategies they can actually use in real situations
increased confidence and reduced frustration
greater independence over time
