Executive Functioning & Study Skills Services for University School Students

We offer a range of programs for typical and neurodiverse students customized to each student’s needs. Our expert coaches build a bespoke curriculum from our robust, proprietary modular system based on the priorities and challenges particular to your student. Whether your student is challenged by the increased academic demands of college-level coursework, is struggling in a particular subject or two, or is unable to plan their time in order to advance towards graduation, The Ladder Method Executive Functioning and Study Skills programs will teach them the skills needed to master their college experience.

OUTCOME:

Students gain the skills needed to excel academically, stay organized, and manage responsibilities independently.

Students who have executive functioning deficiencies may have difficulty with schoolwork, social relationships, or other aspects of their lives. Executive functioning coaching may help students overcome these problems. It can also help those who are suffering from emotional and behavioral issues.

Those with executive dysfunction can find it difficult to start tasks, plan, and execute multiple steps of a project. In addition, they may have difficulty maintaining order, making decisions, or keeping their belongings organized. These difficulties may lead to over-emotional behavior and a lack of self-control.

Executive function coaching can be an effective treatment for individuals with ADHD or other executive functioning disorders. It helps individuals identify the specific challenges they face. Executive function coaches review assessments and work with clients to develop tailored accommodations. Our proprietary approach is evidence-based.

She has implemented very well their curriculum created by their carefully thought out outcomes measures. My son is flourishing with this program and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their executive functioning skills. Alexis has also helped with homework and academic areas requiring more EF skills. Thank you Alexis!”
