Executive functioning skills are crucial to academic success. We focus on the following skills:

Working Memory: Working memory impacts student’s ability to achieve success academically, that is why this type of training includes strategies that can be used to improve skills in this area.

Social/Emotional/Inhibiting: The roles of social, emotional, and inhibition in learning are addressed. We evaluate how these three areas affect one’s outlook toward life in general and how they are perceived by others. It also includes strategies that can be used to improve skills in this area.

Organization, Prioritizing, Sequencing and Time Management: We include strategies that can be used to improve these areas and “pull it all together”.

Attending, Initiating and Focusing: This addresses the importance of helping students get started on assignments, attend to the desired stimulus, and sustain that attention to completion.

Cognitive Flexibility, Communication, and Shifting: This topic will emphasize the role of executive functions in communication and will include strategies for written, spoken, and nonverbal language. In addition, this module addresses cognitive flexibility and shifting, including strategies for flexibility in thinking and strategies to help with transitions.

SAT/ACT and general test preparation sessions are offered on an hourly basis. Our College Prep Program provides the resources and guidance to navigate the application process confidently from start to finish. We begin with the finalization of a school list and then advance to application strategy, major selection, essay development, financial aid applications, and everything in between.

Listening plays a vital role in the sensory integration process. In fact, some believe that the auditory system is the ‘missing link’ in sensory integration modalities. Both research and clinical experience have shown that using sound-based interventions for clients with sensory processing difficulties can increase treatment effectiveness. Sound-based intervention has proven especially effective on students with sensory processing disorders and visual-motor delays including spectrum disorder. Our therapists will work with your student using Therapeutic Listening modulated audio selections (available on CDs, digital music players, and some mobile devices) to create individualized, home-based programs individually selected.
