      Experience Axiom’s Executive Functioning & Study Skills Support

      Children who struggle with executive functioning skills often feel overwhelmed at school, but they can develop these skills with the proper encouragement and training. For instance, a student might understand an assignment but may not know where to begin. Another student might habitually forget or misplace assignments, books, and other items. Some students have difficulty controlling their impulses, so they talk excessively or misbehave, instead of listening. Axiom’s tutors are specially trained to identify what is holding back each student and how to set them up for success.

      Axiom’s Executive Functioning and Study Skills Support provides your child with the tools to:

      • Discover HOW and WHAT to study
      • Learn the difference between urgency and importance
      • Start and complete work (including homework) in a timely fashion
      • Minimize distractions to improve time management
      • Learn to evaluate stressful situations and respond in an appropriate way
      • Build resilience and turn negativity into an opportunity for personal and academic growth

      Discover Axiom Learning's Keys to Success

      Students who struggle with time management have difficulty gauging how long tasks will take. They procrastinate or get distracted rather than focusing on the most important task and may fail to complete tasks on time. As a result, they feel frustrated and their grades suffer.

      Poor time management often coincides with organization challenges. Their living spaces and their workspace may be disordered; for instance, they may have messy desks, overstuffed backpacks, and cluttered lockers. These students often have trouble organizing information as well; their thoughts may seem scattered, even if the underlying ideas are strong.

      Organizing time, information, and space are essential for educational success. Axiom’s Executive Functioning Coaching Program in Menlo Park can help your child learn to:

      • Create “to-do” lists based on their specific learning style
      • Establish daily and weekly schedules so they can complete their work on time
      • Practice organizing information with effective “mental models”
      • Develop physical organization systems for backpacks, binders, desks, and study spaces

      Case Studies

      Case Study 1: Tiffany

      Executive Functioning in Menlo Park

      Tiffany started with us in 4th grade as a remarkable athlete who was struggling in school. Tiffany found it difficult to accurately hear her teacher’s explanations, organize information and complete even basic homework. Since beginning work with us, Tiffany has done our Executive Functioning program, parts of LEAPTM 3.0 and received academic coaching and support. Based on her work with our Executive Functioning program (emphasizing study skills support designed to help her figure out how to prioritize, analyze and express information in an academic context), Tiffany has gone from a struggling student who was at risk of failing out of school to now getting almost straight A’s in Honors coursework at the high school level and being recruited as an athlete to some of the top colleges in the country. “Before coming to Axiom, everything about school just felt hard – academics, socializing and staying organized all felt impossible. Axiom’s programs have helped me organize information and tasks while also giving me the tools to manage my time, my environment, and my busy schedule. School has gone from something I dreaded every day to now being a source of joy and inspiration for me. I couldn’t have done it without Axiom’s programs.”

      Case Study 2: Anthony

      Anthony came to us as a 7th grader who could read quickly but couldn’t retain anything that he read. Anthony struggled to capture and retain information in a classroom setting but flew under the radar of the school because he worked so much harder than everyone else to get the same amount of work done. A thoughtful and positive young man, Anthony was beginning to have significant self-esteem issues and found school to be all work and no joy. His family says they “tried everything before coming to Axiom Learning – including getting help from school and a number of external providers ­– but nothing else worked. He was getting so frustrated that he was at risk of dropping out of school because he was failing most of his classes despite working so hard.” Working with Axiom Learning’s Executive Function curriculum, Anthony focused on the classes he found most difficult – anything with a lot of reading like English and History – and learned how to organize information he was reading and listening to while also translating those skills to his writing and tests in school. After just 80 hours of customized support, Anthony’s reading comprehension went from the bottom 1% to above average and his grades rose to all A’s and B’s. Today, Anthony is a scholarship student at one of the best private high schools in the United States.

      Case Study 3: Casey

      Casey started coming to us in 4th grade for help with emotional regulation, social interactions and persistence with difficult tasks as well as struggles keeping up in school. Casey also had a diagnosis of ADHD. Before starting with Axiom, Casey found navigating new situations to be a a major challenge. She would give up very quickly on anything that felt difficult – especially math. Casey often refused to do homework and withdrew from situations leaving her very behind in school. After working with Axiom for 6 months using both our Executive Functioning and LEAP 3.0 programs, Casey went from surviving to thriving. Her mother noticed that Casey became more focused and aware of her potential. Casey learned to control her impulses and pay attention to subtle social cues, which allowed her to play and cooperate with others. While in the past she would get upset whenever math was mentioned, Casey now practices her number sense and takes pride in her work. She is able to complete academic homework for all subjects for the first time in her life while also maintaining positive social relationships with peers.
