Executive Function Coaching

Portland, Oregon

Lawler Coaching offers online and limited in-person executive function coaching for high school, college, and young adult students with diverse learning needs (occasional exceptions made for 8th graders transitioning to high school), plus parent coaching for families with students of all ages. Using a strengths-based approach, I teach skills like organization, planning, time management, flexibility, and memory, helping students and parents navigate life's transitions with less anxiety and overwhelm — while guiding parents with the advocacy and resources they need along the way.

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.
