Executive Function Coaching

Portland, Oregon

Lawler Coaching offers online and limited in-person Executive Function Coaching to serve current and transitioning middle, high school and college students with developmental needs. My coaching process reduces anxiety, frustration, and overwhelm for both parents and students by teaching skills to improve memory, flexibility, organization, planning, and time management through a strengths-based approach. I help students and families feel empowered and prepared to navigate life. I also offer other support services for parents who are just beginning to navigate this journey and need advice and coaching around their student’s needs.

What is Executive Functioning?

Executive Functioning is all about how the brain is wired for managing life. Executive functioning typically starts at an early age, but as a child grows and the demands and complexities of life increase, these skills are even more important for a child’s independence and ability to navigate their own path forward.

Executive Function refers to the skills and mental processes that enable people to plan and execute tasks, focus attention and follow and remember instructions within the context of a goal. We use these skills every day to learn, work, and manage daily life.

The three main areas include: Working Memory, Cognitive Flexibility and Self-Control.
