Executive Function Coaching breaks down complex tasks into doable actions and strategies to keep you focused, confident, and capable of completing daily tasks.
Get support from the first missed assignment to the day they don't need reminders anymore. I work alongside your family with patience and care, so you have support every step of the way.
​
Your child is bright and capable but you feel like you're handholding at every step.
Maybe homework turns into a two-hour battle every night. Maybe they struggle to start a project, keep track of an assignment, or get out the door on time without multiple reminders. Every day they leave a trail of stuff around the house you’re stuck picking up after.
Maybe you've tried planners, reward charts, or just reminding them constantly, and it still isn't sticking. You're tired, and you're probably wondering if this is just how it's going to be.
​
Then you start asking if you’re doing enough.
Am I helping too much?
Should I be stepping back?
Is this ever actually going to click for them?
These questions are normal, and they don't mean you're doing something wrong. Most families land here after a planner or a reward chart stops working, without anyone explaining why it stopped working.
​
​​
Get strategies built around how their brain actually works, not a one-size-fits-all chart pulled off Google.
​​​​
Building the internal skills your child needs to manage time, tasks, and follow-through takes more than a good system — it takes someone helping your child figure out why the systems haven't stuck yet – then giving them tools to get them to stick.
​
Here's what's possible: your child starts homework without being told twice, tracks their own deadlines, and recovers from a bad grade instead of shutting down — because they finally have systems and skills that work for them. Plus, the systems live in their head, not yours so you aren’t spending all your time handholding to make sure they get everything done.
​
→ No more researching "executive function strategies" at 11pm. Get answers from a licensed clinician
who knows your child.
​
→ Struggling with a long-term project? Learn how to break it into steps that actually get followed,
not just written down
​
→ Get support helping your child manage their own time and follow-through, without you standing over their shoulder
​
→ Practice the strategies in real time, so they hold up on a Tuesday afternoon at home, not just in session
​
→ Have a plan so you know how to support your child without doing the work for them or giving up
and stepping back entirely

"I was SO not organized in school at all before! But now that I'm doing this executive functioning work,
I see the value of staying organized and how it can help me in school." - 15-year-old Student
​
​
Give your child tools and practice to become focused, confident, and capable of completing daily tasks.
​
Sessions happen online, and include:
​
-
Helping you and your child understand executive function and how it connects to ADHD so you both stop wondering if this is a discipline problem or a skills problem.
-
Strategies for managing time and taking notes so "I'll do it later" turns into a plan they actually follow.
-
Coaching around mindset and self-talk so the bad grade or challenging project doesn't spiral into "I"m just bad at school."
-
Metacognitive strategies and Mindfulness practices so your child learns to notice when they've lost focus, not just be told to focus.
-
Building self-awareness, so your child starts to notice their own patterns so the strategies still work when you're not in the room.
-
Goal-setting your child has a hand in so the plan is something they're working toward, not something being done to them.
-
Test preparation support so studying stops being a last-minute scramble the night before.
-
Coaching and counseling for you as a parent so you have a plan for stepping back, not just a plan for your child.
​
Help your child build the internal systems to manage their own time, tasks, and follow-through, without you managing it for them.

We help your child build skills in 10 areas of executive functioning:​

​

Hi, I'm Jenny Traver. I've been a speech-language pathologist (CCC-SLP) for 10 years helping bright and capable students who get stuck on the "how" of getting things done.
I help students build the executive function skills that homework, projects, and daily routines actually run on: starting tasks, managing time, and following through without a parent standing over their shoulder. My work bridges the gap between knowing what to do and actually being able to do it consistently.
I also help parents step back from managing every step, so your child has room to practice (and eventually own) these skills themselves.
We'll build a plan that works around how your child's brain actually works.
​If even a few of these sound like your child, executive function coaching can help. ​​​
​
Homework doesn't have to be a nightly fight, and your child can start to trust their own ability to handle things. They can walk into a test, a project, or a regular Tuesday afternoon knowing they have a plan - with the confidence they can follow it themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions:
​​​​
"Jenny has been a huge gift to our family. She has worked with my 9 year old son, diagnosed with ADHD, on executive function skills. Meeting with her on a weekly basis was something he looked forward to and enjoyed.
She was also a huge support to us as parents as we learned both the language to use
and the skills and strategies to support our son. She is a lovely human, clearly loves working with kids
and has a real gift for communicating and sharing ways of working with great fun and effectiveness.
I would (and do, often) highly recommend Jenny to anyone." - Parent, Elementary School Student
