Executive Function Workshop for Tweens & Teens

What if your child’s struggles are simply skills they haven’t learned yet?

Executive function — the brain’s ability to plan, focus, remember, and follow through — isn’t fixed. It can be taught. Our doctoral team will show your family exactly how, in five evidence-based modules built for middle and high schoolers.

Why This Workshop Works

We don’t just know about ADHD, giftedness, and learning differences from research. We assess for them, every day — and we built this workshop from what those evaluations tell us kids actually need.

  • Our team has conducted hundreds of psychodiagnostic assessments for ADHD, ASD, twice-exceptionality, and learning differences in tweens and teens
  • We see firsthand where executive function breaks down — and exactly which skills close the gap
  • This workshop is the intervention we wish every family could access before the struggles become a crisis
  • Evidence-based, neuropsychology-informed, and designed by clinicians who work with your child’s profile every week

Does This Sound Familiar?

Your kid is capable.
So why is everything a battle?

  • →
    They lose assignments, miss deadlines, and forget things minutes after being told
  • →
    Homework that should take 30 minutes somehow takes three hours
  • →
    They know what needs to be done, starting it is a different story
  • →
    Strong emotions derail the whole day for everyone in the house
  • →
    You’re carrying more of the mental load than they are
  • →
    Gifted, twice-exceptional, or just not working to their potential. The gap between capability and output is real

“Executive function skills are the air traffic control system of the brain and they absolutely can be taught.”


The science behind our approach

How the Workshop Works

Built for tweens, teens,
and the parents raising them.

Each module is structured in two parts — because parents and kids need different things from the same material.

For Parents

The Neuroscience

Each module opens with a parent-focused session covering the psychoeducation and neuropsychology behind the skill. You’ll understand why your child struggles — not just how to respond to it. Knowledge that changes how you parent.

For Tweens & Teens

Real Skills, Real Scenarios

The youth section uses relatable vignettes — real situations middle and high schoolers actually face — paired with concrete, skills-based training. Not lectures. Not worksheets alone. Strategies they’ll actually use.

The Curriculum

Five modules. Real skills.
Lasting change.

Each module includes video lessons for both parents and students, plus a worksheet to immediately apply what was learned. Watch together or separately — the content works both ways.

Module 01

Attention

How attention actually works in the developing brain, what hijacks it, and evidence-based strategies to strengthen focus and reduce distraction in school and at home.

Module 02

Memory

Working memory, long-term retention, and how to encode information so it actually sticks. Critical for academic performance — and for the everyday demands of adolescent life.

Module 03

Organization

Systems that work with the tween and teen brain, not against it. Practical tools for managing time, materials, priorities, and the chaos of middle and high school.

Module 04

Procrastination

The neuroscience behind why kids procrastinate — and concrete strategies to break the cycle without shame, nagging, or power struggles.

Module 05

Time Management

Building a realistic relationship with time — planning, estimating, and executing in ways that actually work for developing brains navigating a demanding world.

Who This Is For

Designed for middle & high schoolers.
Built for the whole family.
