How ADHD Executive Functioning Coaching in Westchester County Helps
Having ADHD does not mean that you can’t vastly improve in executive functioning. Through individualized coaching from coach Alex, you (or your child) will start to make progress in the areas which are negatively impacting academic or professional success.
Get an Idea of What Coaching Looks Like
To give you an idea, let’s say you wrestle with completing tasks promptly. Professional guidance provides techniques to stay on task and tackle your to-dos more efficiently. You’ll learn to break large projects into smaller, more manageable ones, and how to know which tasks you’ll complete first. You will also learn how to effectively use external resources, like calendars, timers, and clocks, to achieve your objectives.
By acquiring the necessary tools to boost productivity and set and achieve goals, you’ll be able to celebrate both small and large victories along your journey.
Coaching offers invaluable support to help you develop strategies to stay focused, such as learning to prioritize, creating a routine, and taking breaks after prolonged periods of intense concentration.
Understanding how to create an environment for yourself free from distractions can improve your focus significantly as well, which is another part of what you’ll learn from coaching.
Alex also teaches students and clients how to use metacognitive strategies such as self-talk to positively and profoundly impact their ability to achieve behavioral changes.
Parent Coaching for Children With ADHD
Another type of executive functioning coaching involves working with you as the parent, and teaching you the tools to support your child, reinforce positive behaviors, and create an environment that encourages healthy development despite obstacles.
Parent coaching includes learning how to best tackle behavioral problems through positive reinforcement and consistency. During sessions, you’ll learn the importance of giving your child clear instructions as well as other helpful strategies, such as creating charts, visual aids, and giving your kid reminders to help them keep focused. You will learn nuanced and effective communication strategies which can help improve your relationship with your child while increasing positive behaviors.
