From overwhelmed 👉 in control

This Summer Executive Function Intensive is designed for students who struggle with:
• organization
• time management
• follow-through

Using the "SMARTS" curriculum, we teach real strategies your child can use right away (and keep using long after summer ends). 😎

They'll learn how to:
✨ Break down assignments
✨ Manage time effectively
✨ Start work independently
✨ Build confidence + reduce overwhelm

In just 2 weeks, students learn how to plan, prioritize, and actually get started!

Each student receives:
✅ personalized goals
✅ guided practice with real academic tasks
✅ a take-home system to support future successes

📅 Session 1: July 14–23
📅 Session 2: Aug 4–13
🕘 Tuesday–Thursday | 9:00–12:00
👥 Small groups (4–6 students)

Ideal for students with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, or learning differences.

Because it’s not about working harder; it’s about having the right tools.

Spots are limited (and they go fast 👀)
