Completing goals successfully and efficiently requires strong Executive Functioning skills (EF). EF skills aren't innate and can be taught. Children struggling in school often suffer from executive dysfunctions. Our EF Program isn't subject specific like tutoring (e.g. math). Instead, our program develops underlying skills such as attention, time-management, organization, and problem solving, among others using a structured but fun 12-week program, a variety of take-home manuals, and biofeedback/neurofeedback training. Call for availability.
