Connecticut Executive Function Coaching

Coach and student working side by side in a classic Connecticut home - Connecticut executive function coaching from DES

Executive Function Coaching for Connecticut Students

From honors and AP course loads at Greenwich High, Staples, Darien, New Canaan, and Stamford’s high schools to the expectations of Fairfield County independent schools, Connecticut students manage serious academics across multiple platforms and packed schedules. Executive function coaching builds the skills those workloads demand: organization, time management, planning and prioritization, task initiation, study strategies, and self-advocacy. Coaches work in the home with each student’s real materials, building scaffolding designed to come down as independence grows. Families who also need subject support can pair coaching with academic tutoring; we also support college students and adults.

Why Connecticut Families Choose DES

Do you offer sessions at your Greenwich office?

Yes. In addition to in-home sessions, families can meet at our main location at 3 Walnut Street in the Cos Cob section of Greenwich.

Do you offer executive function coaching anywhere in Connecticut, or only in Fairfield County?

Is DES an accountability coach?

Accountability is a large part of the work, yes. The coach checks what got done, keeps the student on the plan, and is the person the student answers to each week instead of a parent. What makes it more than accountability is that the coach also builds the system the student is being held to.

Do you also offer tutoring and ISEE or SSAT prep in Connecticut?

Yes. Academic tutoring, reading and writing tutoring, and ISEE and SSAT tutoring are all one-to-one, in person in Fairfield County or online, and executive function support is built into each.

What qualifies your Connecticut coaches?

Every DES executive function coach is a certified special education teacher. Our founder, Aron Boxer, taught special education in the Greenwich Public Schools and takes the first consultation call with every family himself.
