Executive Function Coaching

Portland, Oregon

Lawler Coaching offers online and limited in-person executive function coaching near NE Portland, Oregon, to support transitioning middle, high school, and college students with diverse learning needs. My goal is to help students build the skills they need to succeed, grow, and independently navigate their unique path in life. Using a strengths-based approach, I teach essential skills such as organization, planning, time management, flexibility, and memory, reducing anxiety and overwhelm for both students and parents. I also offer guidance and coaching for parents who are new to this journey and need support in understanding and advocating for 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.
