What is executive function coaching?
Executive function coaching helps students practice the skills involved in managing school responsibilities: making a plan, deciding what to do first, getting started, keeping track of materials, and adjusting when something changes.
At Everpoint, an executive functioning coach connects these skills to your student's actual assignments, schedule, and goals. A student might practice breaking a project into smaller steps, estimating how long homework will take, or creating a routine for checking and submitting completed work. The goal is greater independence with strategies students understand and can use themselves.
When might your child benefit from coaching?
Coaching may be a good fit when your student needs support with the day-to-day process of managing schoolwork. You might notice that your child:
Has trouble starting assignments, even when they understand the directions.
Loses track of materials, due dates, or completed work.
Underestimates how much time a task will take.
Feels overwhelmed by projects with several steps.
Struggles to balance homework, activities, and downtime.
Relies on frequent reminders to keep moving.
These patterns give us a starting point for a conversation. We want to understand where your student gets stuck, what is already working, and which changes would make everyday responsibilities more manageable.
How does Everpoint's coaching approach work?
The Everpoint Executive Edge Framework™ organizes coaching around five practical areas. Your student's goals guide where we begin and how much time we spend in each area.
1) Organize: Create a workable system for assignments, school materials, and digital files.
2) Plan: Break larger tasks into steps and decide when to complete them.
3) Prioritize: Choose what needs attention first while considering deadlines and available time.
4) Perform: Practice getting started, sustaining effort, and following through.
5) Progress: Reflect on what worked, adjust strategies, and recognize growing independence.
A planner is useful only if a student knows how and when to use it. We help students practice their systems, notice where those systems break down, and make adjustments they can carry into the next week.
What happens during a coaching session?
Individual coaching sessions turn current school demands into opportunities to practice useful skills. The focus depends on the student's goals and what needs attention that day. A session may include:
1) Check in: Review recent progress and identify a challenge.
2) Make a plan: Look at upcoming assignments, deadlines, and commitments.
3) Practice a strategy: Break down a project, build a study schedule, or work through a starting routine.
4) Choose a next step: Agree on a specific strategy to try between sessions.
For example, a student with a paper due Friday might identify the steps, estimate the time needed, and put each step into their schedule. At a later session, student and coach can review how the plan worked and what to change.
Executive function coaching plans and pricing
Executive Function Coaching — $395 per month
The monthly plan includes:
Four individual 45-minute coaching sessions.
Virtual or in-person sessions, with format and scheduling discussed before coaching begins.
A personalized action plan built around your student's goals and needs.
A monthly written parent progress update to keep you informed about the focus of coaching and your student's progress.
Coaching provides repeated opportunities to try a strategy, use it during the school week, and revisit it with support. We discuss your student's needs and scheduling before you begin.
How are parents involved?
Parents help us understand the routines and challenges they see at home. Students also have a voice in setting goals and choosing strategies, so the plan reflects their perspective as well as their family's concerns.
The monthly written parent update keeps you informed while giving your student room to practice taking ownership. Goals might include recording assignments consistently, beginning a task with fewer prompts, or following a plan for a longer project. Progress is considered in relation to the individual student's starting point.
