You See Their Potential

We help them build the skills to reach it independently.

Executive function coaching helps students build the systems and skills needed to plan, stay organized, and follow through more consistently.

At Primed Potential, support focuses on developing personalized strategies that work with how each student thinks and learns so they can move toward greater independence with confidence.

  • They understand the material but aren’t turning things in

  • You’re constantly reminding and it’s not sticking

  • Mornings, homework, or long-term projects feel harder than they should

  • You’re not sure how much to step in vs step back

How We Can Support You

There are a few different ways we can support your child and your family depending on what feels most helpful right now.

Coaching for Your Child

Executive function coaching provides direct, individualized support for students to build skills like planning, organization, time management, task initiation, and follow through.

Students learn how to:

  • Break down assignments and manage deadlines

  • Build systems for organization and time management

  • Get started and sustain effort on tasks

  • Reflect on what is working and adjust strategies

  • Develop greater independence and confidence

Coaching is available for:

  • Middle school students typically beginning in 8th grade

  • High school students

  • College students

Two pathways are available depending on the level of support needed:

Independent Coaching
Best for high school and college students, as well as mature middle school students who are ready to take increasing ownership of their growth and strategy use.

Family Supported Coaching
Best for middle school and high school students who benefit from added structure and collaboration. This includes parent meetings at key points to support consistency and follow through at home.

Parent Coaching

Parent coaching provides structured, practical support so you can better understand your child’s executive function profile and create systems at home that actually work, including for younger students who are not yet ready for direct coaching.

This is especially helpful if:

  • You feel stuck in patterns that are not working

  • There is tension around schoolwork or responsibilities

  • You want to step back without things falling apart

  • Your child is not yet ready for direct coaching

Parent coaching focuses on:

  • Clarifying executive function strengths and challenges

  • Building realistic routines and systems at home

  • Supporting organization, planning, and follow through

  • Increasing independence without over functioning

Available as a standalone service or alongside student coaching.

Who This Support Is For

Executive function support is designed for:

  • Students who are capable but struggling with organization, time management, or follow through

  • Students who understand what needs to be done but have difficulty getting started or staying on track

  • Students navigating increasing academic demands and independence

  • Families who feel stuck in patterns that are not working at home

  • Students with ADHD or executive function challenges who benefit from structure, strategy, and accountability

Why Primed Potential

Primed Potential offers executive function support grounded in evidence based training and extensive experience in assessment and intervention.

Led by Licensed Educational Psychologist Suzanne Pickell, services go beyond general tutoring or coaching by integrating a deeper understanding of how learning, behavior, and executive function develop.

Support is highly individualized and designed around each student’s strengths, challenges, and goals so that strategies are practical, sustainable, and applicable beyond sessions.

The focus is not just on getting through current demands, but on building the skills, systems, and self awareness that support long term independence.
