Transform Your Life with The Time is Now Coaching

---

The Time is Now Learning provides customized strategies and coaching to students with ADHD, executive function and/or learning challenges to improve their time-management, organization, reading comprehension, and writing skills.

Executive Function and ADHD Coaching 

Students with executive function challenges such as ADHD can experience challenges with concentration, organization, planning, prioritizing, working memory, task initiation and completion, and distractibility. Students may find themselves procrastinating on important academic tasks, cramming for tests, and becoming distracted during lectures and while reading.

Coaching can help students stay on track at college and university and reach their full potential academically. 

In strength-based coaching sessions, students will cultivate the following skills:

• time-management and organization
• setting goals and overcoming obstacles 
• beating procrastination and distraction
• planning and starting assignments
• concentration and focus
• note-taking
• study skills and test/exam preparation
• self advocacy and reframing negative beliefs

Reading and Writing Challenges

Students with reading challenges may find it takes longer to read articles and chapters as well understand and recall key concepts. 

Evidence-based reading support helps students monitor their comprehension, preview texts, read with purpose, and to incorporate graphic templates to better understand how texts are constructed. Reading strategies also help students to summarize and analyze reading material. Strategies are directly taught and modelled, and students participate in guided practice until they are independent in using the strategies.

Students with writing challenges may struggle to formulate and organize thoughts and write and revise essays. Evidence-based writing support includes explicit instruction in how written works are constructed and how writers pre-plan, research, organize, write and revise written works. Strategies are directly taught and modelled, and students participate in guided, reflective practice at all stages of the writing process.

Reading and writing support helps students improve the following academic skills:

• completing multi-step written assignments
• reading strategically to increase comprehension 
• researching, developing and organizing writing assignments 
• drafting
• monitoring progress
• revising
