Often, when I hear from a parent or a student who is seeking executive function coaching, the stories follow a pattern that you might find familiar. A typical student at the beginning of their coaching experience may:

​

• Have several weeks worth of missed or overdue work to make up

• Make "simple mistakes" such as switching signs in a math problem, forgetting to run spellcheck before turning in a paper, or misinterpreting instructions

• Have no free time because all of their time after classes is taken up by trying to power through homework

• Be failing classes or have lower grades without really understanding why

• Feel the effects of burnout and high, chronic stress

• Have no motivation to move forward with their work, particularly if it's boring or tedious

• Know what they need to do, but have trouble getting started or knowing where to start

• Feel like they are constantly trying to fix their mistakes or digging themselves out of a hole

• Have a hard time maintaining daily tasks such as keeping their room tidy, doing dishes, and keeping up with laundry

• Feel isolated from peers because of the amount of work they need to do

• Feel embarrassed or ashamed about their inability to do what so many of their peers find easy

• Feel easily overwhelmed by the sheer amount of tasks they have to do
