During this summer program, students will focus on strengthening executive function skills needed for middle school success. Coaches will work with students to help them build confidence in managing academic responsibilities, develop independence in organization, planning, and time management, and improve emotional regulation and self-advocacy skills.

The sessions will focus on developing skills related to time management, organization, note-taking, effective study skills, tracking assignments, advocacy, and task initiation.
