In-Home Executive Function Coaching in Manhattan
Diversified Education Services sends executive function coaches to family homes in Manhattan. Your coach works with your child one-on-one, at the desk or kitchen table where homework actually happens, on organization, planning, getting started, and follow-through.

Why We Coach at Home
DES is not a tutoring center. We have coached students in their homes since 2009, because home is where the homework gets done or doesn't. In your home, the coach sees the real backpack, the real binder, and the real desk, and builds a system your child can keep using after the coach leaves.
Coaching at home also takes a trip out of your family's week. In Manhattan, a session across town can cost a student an hour of travel on a school night. When the coach comes to you, that hour goes to the work.
What an In-Home Session Looks Like
- Check-in. The coach and your child go through what got done since the last session and what did not.
- What is due. They open the school portal and the planner together and list every assignment, test, and project.
- The plan. Bigger assignments are broken into steps and assigned to specific days, around practices, lessons, and the trip home from school.
- Getting started. The coach gets the hardest piece of work started before the session ends.
- The workspace. The backpack, binders, and desk get organized as a regular part of the session.
Between sessions, your child can use Understood's free printable backpack checklist to check what needs to go to school and what needs to come home. It slips into a clear luggage tag on the backpack.
Sessions are one-on-one, and parents are not in the room. That is often the point: homework stops being a negotiation between you and your child. Your coach writes a brief summary after each session, so you know what was covered.
Where We Come to You
We offer in-home sessions in Manhattan, and most of them are on the Upper West Side and Upper East Side. Families elsewhere in New York City can meet with a coach online each week.
Who Comes to Your Home
Every DES executive function coach is special education certified and works full time as an educator. Aron Boxer, the founder and owner of DES and a former special education teacher, speaks with every family and chooses the coach himself. Coaching is relationship-based, so your child works with one coach, week after week. When a student also needs help in a subject, a DES academic tutor can work alongside the coach in one plan.
