How Coaching With LSA Can Help

How Coaching With LSA Supports High School Students & Families
High school is challenging, especially for neurodivergent students who may struggle with organization, time management, motivation & self-confidence. These challenges often lead to missed assignments, increased stress, and a decline in self-esteem.
As a result of coaching, our high school students and families most commonly feel more empowered to:
- Organize schoolwork and plan ahead, reducing missed assignments and last-minute stress.
- Find motivation and engagement, overcoming feelings of disinterest or burnout.
- Manage time effectively, balancing academics, extracurriculars, and personal time.
- Build resilience and manage emotions, handling stress and setbacks with greater ease.
- Improve attention and focus, staying on task and avoiding distractions.
- Make thoughtful decisions, enhancing problem-solving skills and self-determination.
- Develop self-advocacy skills, confidently expressing needs and seeking support.
- Build self-esteem and self-confidence, counteracting feelings of inadequacy.
- Adapt to changing environments, adjusting to new challenges with flexibility and confidence.
"We no longer need to hover over his shoulder to ensure he stays on track."
Lisa - parent
Our son was constantly overwhelmed by school, and we felt like we had to constantly monitor him. After coaching, he’s much better at organizing his time and getting things done on his own. We no longer need to hover over his shoulder to ensure he stays on track.
While not all of our clients have ADHD or are autistic, we support many who are. We specialize in addressing executive function challenges that are common for neurodivergent individuals.

"I feel seen and understood in ways I didn’t expect."
Jordan - Young Adult
It’s really nice to be able to talk with someone who understands and accepts me for who I am. I feel seen and understood in ways I didn't expect. I didn’t feel like I was talking to a superior.
What Can You Expect From Your Coach?
With every client and family we serve, our coaches strive to help them…
Feel Truly Seen & Understood
Our coaches strive to create a coaching relationship built on trust, empathy, and genuine care for our clients' well-being. They listen to and understand not only the challenges our clients face but also those of their entire family.
Why A Client-Centric Approach?
Why A Client-Centric Approach?
The short answer – because it works.
A person-centered approach recognizes the importance of understanding and connecting with each individual on a deeper level.
Research studies (Thomas, 2006) have identified "The Big Four" common factors that contribute to successful change:
- Relationship Factors (30%): Establishing a strong connection between the client and the coach.
- Hope & Expectations (15%): Fostering a sense of optimism and confidence in the process.
- Models & Techniques (15%): Utilizing evidence-based strategies tailored to the individual's needs.
- Extra-therapeutic Factors (40%): Considering the unique circumstances and resources in a person's life.
By focusing on these key elements, our person-centered approach ensures that our coaching is effective and genuinely resonates with the people we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Executive Function Coaching helps individuals improve their mental processes such as organization, time management, task initiation, attentional control, self-monitoring and others across real-life contexts such as school, work and daily life.
With coaching and compassionate accountability in tandem, clients can expect to achieve not only better performance in these areas, but also a better relationship with themselves and others, as well as a more in-depth understanding of how their brain and nervous system works.
At Life Skills Advocate, we also prioritize our clients' emotional regulation as it pertains to executive functioning and understand the emotional ripple effect it can have on overall quality of life.
Our coaches are trained to recognize the emotional impacts of executive dysfunction and use informed and evidence-based approaches and lived experience with neurodivergence to help clients manage their struggles.
At Life Skills Advocate, we're more than just a coaching service. We’re a team dedicated to empowering neurodivergent college students through a personalized, student-focused approach. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Shared Experience With Neurodivergence: Our coaches, including our founder, who has personal experience with ADHD, understand the challenges of neurodivergence firsthand.

The first step in our coaching process is to schedule a complimentary 30-minute discovery meeting to discuss your or your child's specific needs and goals. If coaching seems like a good fit, we then arrange a complimentary meet-and-greet to match you or your child with the right coach.
While our coaching program is not bound by a fixed duration, we recommend a minimum commitment of 12 weekly sessions to see meaningful change. However, the exact length of coaching varies based on individual goals and situations.
In the early sessions, we may use various assessment tools, including executive functioning assessments, readiness to change assessments, motivation scales, and "getting to know you" questionnaires. These assessments help us tailor the coaching experience to your or your child's unique needs.
Once paired with a coach, you or your child will participate in sessions customized to their needs. The process starts with setting clear goals and creating a coaching roadmap. Each session is designed to reflect on progress, address challenges, and practice strategies with your coach's guidance.
Depending on your situation, we may encourage parental or family involvement. This could include semi-regular meetings between you, your family, and the coach to ensure alignment throughout the process, adjust strategies based on input, and prepare everyone to support progress once coaching concludes.
Additionally, if needed, our coaches provide gentle accountability check-ins throughout the week to help you or your child stay on track and make progress in the desired areas.
At Life Skills Advocate, our coaches bring a wealth of diverse experiences to their roles. Each coach has personal lived experience with neurodivergence, which allows them to connect deeply with the students and families they work with
Professionally, our coaches come from a range of coaching or coaching-adjacent fields, including special education, mental health counseling & social work, among others.
We also provide comprehensive internal training and regular professional development to ensure that our coaches are equipped with the latest tools and strategies to support our clients effectively.
