F.O.C.U.S.™

Focused Organized Children

  Using Strategies! 

We teach the art of learning- we guide students towards using "how-to-learn" strategies as an everyday practice, so they develop stronger organization skills, increased self-esteem, and school success! Help your child do what they "intend" to do, complete tasks, manage time, and focus!

Can they do it? Yes THEY CAN!

One to One Tutoring can be a part of our Academic Coaching program if academic needs require it. Learn more about our One to One Tutoring and how we work with children with ADHD/ADD... 

We also offer Student Success Groups specifically covering study skills and organization.

Medication changes brain chemistry, enabling a child to obtain focus and maintain attention longer- but it does not teach them what to do when they are able to attend and focus- we teach what medication cannot-focusing attention, making eye contact, managing perfectionism, organizing, finishing tasks, managing a planner and schedule, removing the stress from homework time, establishing routines and schedules which work and make children accountable-cutting down nagging and family stressors.
