Summer Executive Function Coaching

 A Season to Build Skills for a Lifetime of Impact

A Low-Pressure, High-Growth Opportunity

Summer isn't just for taking a break—it’s one of the best times for growth.
Without the daily pressures of school, kids, teens, and young adults have the space to explore, build confidence, and strengthen the executive function skills that help them thrive both academically and personally.

Our Summer Executive Function Coaching is designed to meet each individual where they are and help them use their passions—whether it’s soccer, music, art, or gaming—as the foundation for meaningful growth.

Through personalized coaching, students learn how to build independence, stay organized, manage time effectively, regulate emotions, and set and achieve personal goals—all while working toward what matters most to them.

 

How It Works

  • Each client begins with an individualized assessment and collaborative goal-setting process tailored to their summer schedule, passions, and needs.

  • Sessions are scheduled around vacations, camps, and family plans, offering the flexibility summer demands while keeping skill-building consistent.

  • Coaching is built around each student's real interests and personal projects—applying executive function skills in authentic, meaningful ways.

  • Students engage in regular check-ins to reflect on progress, problem-solve challenges, and maintain momentum throughout the summer.

  • For younger clients, we offer bi-weekly parent check-ins to maintain transparency and collaboration.

What We Focus On During Summer Coaching

Our coaches tailor every session to the individual’s goals, strengths, and areas of need. Summer goals might include:

Routine-Building:
Create consistent morning or evening routines, implement systems to build independence, and develop weekly planning habits.

Time Management:
Practice time-blocking, track how time is spent, and use planners or timers to structure downtime intentionally.

Emotional Regulation:
Identify and practice coping tools, build personalized calm-down strategies, and process emotions through check-ins or journaling.

Focus and Follow-Through:
Complete small personal projects, experiment with focus strategies (like Pomodoro), and reflect on what improves concentration.

Planning and Goal-Setting:
Create a summer bucket list, plan and execute personal challenges, or design a back-to-school readiness plan.

Creative or Project-Based Work:
Write a short story or comic, redesign a personal space, or build a digital or physical vision board.

Summer coaching is designed to spark momentum and give students the tools they need to move forward with clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of independence.

Why It Matters

Without the daily pressures of school, students have the rare chance to build executive function skills in a real-world, low-stakes environment.

Summer coaching transforms passions into purpose, helping students:

  • Strengthen independence

  • Improve organization and time management

  • Build emotional resilience

  • Set and achieve meaningful personal goals

By working on what matters to them now, students are better prepared to handle the demands of the next school year—and life beyond the classroom.

FAQ

Q: What is Executive Function Coaching?

  • Executive Function Coaching helps individuals build the skills they need to plan, organize, manage time, initiate tasks, regulate emotions, and follow through effectively. In our summer program, we focus on using each client’s real-world interests and goals as the foundation for skill-building—making it low-pressure, engaging, and highly personalized.

Q: Who is a good fit for summer coaching?

  • We work with children, teens, and young adults who experience challenges with organization, time management, motivation, emotional regulation, and independence. Summer coaching is ideal for students who want to strengthen these skills without the added pressures of the school year—and for those who are passionate about turning summer goals into growth opportunities.

Q: How flexible is the summer coaching schedule?

  • We understand that summer includes travel, camps, and changing schedules. Sessions are scheduled around your family's availability and can be adjusted as needed. Our goal is to provide consistent support while working within your summer plans.

Q: How is summer coaching different from school-year coaching?

  • The core approach is the same—individualized, strengths-based, and goal-driven. However, summer offers a unique opportunity: without academic stressors, clients can focus on building foundational executive function skills through real-life projects and interests. It’s a low-risk, high-growth season for practicing and applying new strategies.

Q: Can we do a shorter or customized package over the summer?

  • We offer flexible coaching packages and will work with you to create a schedule that makes sense for your summer. Even a short-term commitment during the summer can have a lasting impact.

Q: Do parents receive updates about their child’s progress?

  • Yes. For younger clients, we offer optional bi-weekly parent check-ins to keep you informed and engaged in your child’s progress. Our goal is to ensure that everyone—client and family—is part of the growth process.

Q: What if my child is resistant to coaching?

  • It’s not uncommon for students to feel hesitant at first. We meet each individual where they are, building trust and buy-in by connecting executive function skills to things they already care about. By keeping sessions fun, low-pressure, and focused on personal goals, we help students experience early success—and build the confidence to continue growing.
