In this initial phase, we focus on establishing executive functioning systems. Learners create systems for managing their time, managing themselves physically, and managing themselves digitally. This phase typically lasts 4–6 sessions and lays the groundwork for long-term success.

In every session, learners maintain their executive functioning systems, through establishing predictable and sustainable routines that they can integrate into their daily lives. We additionally guide learners to learn how they learn best (often through the curriculum), with tips, strategies, and tricks that help learners mitigate learning anxiety and challenges. Family and home life begins to improve during this phase.

The final phase empowers learners to apply strategies independently and thrive. Learners develop advanced skills, maintain their systems, and confidently advocate for their needs. By the end, they are equipped to navigate challenges and achieve academic and personal independence. Family and home life has dramatically improved.
