Executive Functioning Program for Children & Teens
Helping children and teens develop practical skills for learning, organization, self-regulation, and everyday independence.
Executive functioning skills are the brain-based abilities that help us learn, complete tasks, manage emotions, solve problems, and organize ourselves from day to day.
Three foundational processes are especially important: working memory, which helps us hold and use information; impulse and emotional control, which help us manage reactions and behaviour; and cognitive flexibility, which helps us adjust plans, shift our thinking, and solve problems.
These foundational skills support other executive functioning abilities such as starting tasks, sustaining attention, organization, planning, time management, and self-monitoring.
Our Executive Functioning program uses evidence-based strategies from Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to help children and teens build practical skills and greater confidence at home, at school, and in the community. Parent coaching helps families reinforce strategies outside of sessions.
Executive functioning services can focus on:
- Emotional regulation
- Response inhibition and impulse control
- Cognitive flexibility and problem solving
- Organization
- Planning and prioritizing
- Time management
- Working memory
- Task initiation and managing procrastination
- Attention and staying focused
- Self-monitoring

The first step is registration and an intake assessment. The $500 intake assessment fee is waived when services begin within two weeks of completion of the intake process.
Psychological assessments can provide detailed information about an individual's strengths, areas of need, learning profile, development, behaviour, and mental health.
Our assessment services may include developmental, psychoeducational, autism-specific, and ADHD-specific testing. Assessments use information from standardized testing, direct observation, and, when appropriate, input from parents, school staff, or others involved in the individual's life.
A written report is provided at the end of the assessment process and outlines testing results, diagnostic considerations, applicable referrals, and practical recommendations.
An assessment may help:
- Identify strengths and areas requiring additional support
- Clarify diagnostic considerations
- Inform learning strategies and school accommodations
- Support IEP and IPRC planning
- Identify appropriate post-secondary or workplace accommodations
- Provide documentation for applicable programs, services, or benefits
