FOSTERING SKILLS THAT INCREASE
AUTONOMY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND ADVOCACY
Parent Coaching
Parent Coaching facilitates and strengthens the lines of communication between the student and their parents. This is a safe space where parents can receive psychoeducation regarding their student's diagnosis, synergistic practices on how best to implement boundaries and consequences, and methods of leading with love to advance your student's independence. Parent Coaching is an integral part of Blakey Wellness as a collaborative system of support that encourages the individuation of your student.

Executive Function Coaching
What is Executive Functioning?
Executive functioning is the prefrontal cortex's system of learned skills that include working memory, time management, long-term planning, cognitive flexibility, inhibition control, and emotional regulation.
Executive Function Coaching empowers students by setting realistic goals towards attaining their intrinsic motivations, offering accountability and building confidence by returning responsibility, and developing personalized methods to strengthen their executive functioning and self-regulatory skills. We meet students where they are and build upon their current strengths while aiding in developing integrated executive functioning skills across their entire lifestyle, not just in academics.
