Executive Function Coaching

Most EF coaching gives students a planner and a pep talk. We teach them to think differently.
What is Executive Functioning - Really?
Executive function isn't one skill. It's the entire system your brain uses to plan, start, manage, and complete tasks. For students with ADHD, this system breaks down in ways that get misread as laziness, attitude, or not caring.
​
It isn't. It's a misfire.
The Harmon Approach: EF
We identify exactly where a student's system is breaking down across three layers:
​
Layer 1 · Agency — Will I engage? Belief, ownership, and locus of control.
Layer 2 · Structure & Strategy — Do I know what to do? Planning, prioritization, organization, and tools.
Layer 3 · Execution & Regulation — Can I do it right now ? Initiation, attention, persistence, flexibility, and metacognition.
All three layers are present in every task. When one fails, the whole system can break down — regardless of how well the others are working.
What Makes Us Different
Most EF coaches focus on symptoms — missed assignments, messy backpacks, forgotten deadlines. We go deeper. We teach students to diagnose their own breakdown pattern and fix it from the inside out. Not just what to do differently, but why their system is misfiring and exactly where.
For students 10 and up, this means working through a real planner system alongside structured coaching — building the habits, language, and self-awareness to manage their own learning independently.
