Therapy scenarios

Parent Workshops for Executive Function Development

Recognizing the importance of early intervention, we collaborated with parenting groups to provide executive function workshops for families. These sessions helped parents understand how organization, time management, and emotional regulation impact daily life. Parents left with practical strategies to support their child’s independence, focus, and task completion at home and school.

Overcoming Task Avoidance & Improving Focus

A 10-year-old student struggled with starting and completing schoolwork, often feeling overwhelmed and distracted. With structured coaching sessions, we introduced visual schedules, goal-setting techniques, and focus-building exercises. Over time, he learned to prioritize tasks, break assignments into manageable steps, and complete work independently, improving both his academic performance and confidence.

Strengthening Organization & Time Management

A 12-year-old had difficulty managing school assignments, often forgetting homework and rushing through projects at the last minute. Through personalized executive function coaching, she learned to use planners, set reminders, and develop a structured study routine. Now, she confidently plans her workload, meets deadlines, and experiences less stress in her school life.
