Executive function is the name given to a group of complex mental processes and cognitive abilities. These are the skills that allow individuals to manage thoughts, actions and emotions in order to accomplish tasks. Executive functioning skills include planning activities, managing time and organizing materials. They also include functions such as remembering details, paying attention and switching focus and study skills. 

Executive functioning coaching involves remedial instruction, interventions and strategies in areas such as task initiation and completion, studying for tests, schedule planning and keeping track of materials. The goal of executive functioning coaching is to help the individual be successful in the classroom and beyond as well as to learn to advocate for his or her needs. 

Michelle helps children, teens and adults through tools, strategies and consistent coaching learn to manage their stuff, time and information.
