Common challenges young adults experience when Executive Function skills are not strong.
Imagine how challenging a typical day is in an emerging adult’s life. Getting up in time to do their morning routine, eat, and get to school/ work, either by car, foot, or public transportation. Running errands, staying within a budget, mail bills, schedule and get to doctor’s appointments, etc. At home, managing their apartment, keeping it clean and maintained. Preparing their meals, finding social activities to fill their time, do laundry, and get to bed at a reasonable hour. These young adults are expected to manage these life skills independently, without parents, teachers, coaches checking up to make sure the tasks are completed.
Overwhelmed and unsure what they want to be when they grow up... nothing feels like a good fit. Following other people’s advice doesn’t feel right.
Difficulty planning and keeping a schedule; creating a routine that balances peaceful mornings, sleep filled nights, fitness and social opportunities.
Frequently searching for keys, cell phone and sunglasses; leaving important items at work or home; missing vital deadlines.
Overwhelmed with learning systems and following directions; difficulty recognizing what the struggle is and how to ask for help; late to work in spite of the best intentions; have the feeling of never being able to catch up; feeling alone.
Emerging Adulthood is that phase of life that begins when high school ends. After completing twelve + years of school, young adults are expected to ease into “what’s next”. For some, the path may be a four-year college or university; others may choose a two-year college, a trade or vocational program, or they may choose to directly enter the work force. Young adult are expected to take lessons, skills, expectations and education learned during their first 18 years, transition them to make sense in this next life phase, without skipping a beat. This can be a daunting challenge, especially for those who struggle with planning and prioritizing, juggling responsibilities, meeting deadlines, being organized, flexible thinking, lack of situational or self-awareness when interacting with others, impulsivity, completing tasks and assignments. These are Executive Functions. You are not born with the ability to recognize, understand or manage executive functions. You were taught executive functions from the time you were a baby, through childhood into adolescence. The good news? There is no expiration date to begin learning how you learn and to master strategies to manage those executive function challenges.

Individual and small group interactive learning
Emerging Adult SCHOLARS commit to five (5) sessions with their Learning Specialist. The two and a half hour (2.5 hours)sessions follow the Scholar's Individualized Learning Roadmap curriculum. Ideal frequency of sessions is once a week; however, we recognize that Scholars' schedules can be complicated with extracurricular activities. Learning specialists attempt to accommodate Scholars' schedules.
"PLAY ATTENTION" games
PLAY ATTENTION is a neurocognitive training program that improves executive function. PLAY ATTENTION has been helping children and adults thrive and succeed for over 25 years. Their NASA inspired technology and cognitive exercises improve executive function and self-regulation. By wearing the Play Attention BodyWave® armband controller, cognitive exercises are controlled by mind alone. The Play Attention cognitive exercises improve areas such as attention, short term memory, task completion, social skills, working memory, organization, auditory processing, motor skills, and more! They also have a fully integrated behavioral shaping program to teach personal regulation of disruptive or impulsive behaviors.
