The Semester Success Blueprint (SSB) 📐
A self-paced course for parents and educators to complete with students with ADHD or Autism which will empower them to:
-
Have fewer missing assignments (or none!)
-
More confidence when communicating with their teachers
-
Earn better grades and test scores
-
And less parental nagging and bickering
(Yes, this is really possible.)
What if your student with ADHD or ASD had a step-by-step plan to make this the best semester ever?
What is the Semester Success Blueprint course? If your student has been struggling semester after semester with missing assignments, lack of teacher communication, and living in an on-going state of overwhelm, this course is for you! Here is how the course works:
-
This course is a series of four main modules with bite-sized instructional videos meant to teach critical executive function skills which are not often taught in the school system.
-
After each module, your student will have an opportunity to reflect on what they learn and evaluate their mastery through a short quiz.
-
There will be ONE key action item after each module that will help your student implement what they are learning. You may need to help them with this!
-
This is quick, manageable, but extremely valuable information that will lead to real transformation if utilized and applied throughout the semester.
-
This does take work, but if you and your student are willing to learn and grow, you will be astounded by the results and clarity that comes from engaging in this process.
I hope you will give this a shot!

Question and Answers
What if the students in my EF class will feel like the lessons are saying things they already know? The problem with executive functioning is in the doing, more than the knowing.
While the above statement is true for some students, it has NOT been my experience for the majority of them. Many students get overwhelmed by what feels to be an insurmountable take (writing an essay or preparing for an exam), and avoid those tasks because of this feeling.
When they start to break things down into manageable steps and have someone nearby to body double with them, even if it is done online, they feel a sense of relief, empowerment, and even joy around the doing task.
Many students don't know how to do school things like use Google Tasks, an error log, or email templates, and when they discover these pathways to getting things done in a structured manner, they start to develop a sense of self-efficacy and courage.
If they already know these things, then the tweak that could be made is just being there with them as they apply the tools they are already familiar with. This is why I encourage parents and educators to complete the Semester Success Blueprint alongside your student.
As it said on the wall of the classroom when I became a para educator back in 2013, "Teaching is is being near and involved."
Hi, I'm Sean 👋
I'm the founder of Executive Function Specialists and the Executive Function Coaching Academy.
I wanted to create a comprehensive, but compact course that will support students with ADHD and ASD to have better school semesters.
I know some families cannot afford to invest in a semester of executive function coaching. While our services at EFS can be accessed free of cost via the IEP process, not every child has a high-powered advocate or attorney who can integrate EF coaching into their IEP.
To address the need for high-quality EF coaching support available to the general public, I've created a powerful course to promote better school outcomes for students with ADHD and ASD.
I hope this brings a TON of value to your family and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Best,
Sean
