College and Academic Success
We provide therapeutic interventions to build executive function skills for academic success.
Testimonial:
"From the very beginning, Justin took the time to understand my son's unique needs and challenges. He tailored his intervention strategies to address specific areas such as time management, organization, processing, goal setting, communication, self-awareness, and self-initiating. This personalized approach ensured that my son received the support he needed to thrive. Justin introduced a variety of practical techniques and tools that have proven to be incredibly effective. For instance, he taught how to break down complex tasks and assignments into manageable steps, and found the right planner that worked best for him, along with other digital tools."
