The EEC Coaching Model.
There are 4 components in the EEC coaching support model. This model allows for intense skills development but also faded support as the client builds in confidence and competence.
Direct Coaching. Direct coaching is when the client and coach are working 1:1 together. This can be over Google Meet or in person or over the phone. The duration and frequency of these sessions are determined by the team’s goals and the desired pace of change. One to two direct sessions a week during the onset can be common and fades as the client achieves a meaningful level of progress. This model of coaching is the most common form of coaching and is required in the beginning for all of our clients. Simple text check ins and/or motivational messages are also included in this service option.. Over time, once the coach and client have an established working relationship and effective momentum in the skill development process, the two will decide how frequently and how often to meet directly.

Coach Initiated Indirect Coaching. This type of coaching is equally as substantive as direct 1:1 coaching and provides a similar type of support, but it uses methods such as texting, email, and/or other technology as a means to substantially support a client’s goals and skill development without meeting “face to face”. Indirect coaching is most often used in conjunction with direct coaching and can happen as frequently as needed based on the client’s needs. This is when the coach initiates scheduled or intermittent contact with the client via texts, emails, or calendar reminders during the week. This process allows the coach and client to maintain momentum between the direct coaching sessions. This communication is different from simple text check-ins that are included as part of the direct coaching process; it includes but is not limited to support related to planning, prioritizing, motivating, getting started with tasks, reflecting on progress or challenges, providing information or education, as well as a high level of frequent accountability. These sessions can be broken into 10-minute increments and fluctuate depending on the challenges of the week, and client progress. PLEASE NOTE: Not all coaches provide indirect coaching support so if you are interested in it, please let us know so that we can ensure that you have a coach that does.
Executive Function Case Management (EFCM) provides a more comprehensive and increased level of coaching support for clients and/or parents looking for a higher level of support, monitoring, advocacy, collaboration, and/or accountability. In addition to the direct 1:1 coaching, EFCM also provides the following elements of support: Coach initiated prompting and check-ins outside of the direct 1:1 sessions to allow for increased external accountability and in-the-moment motivation and support; Coaching for parents/family members as needed to support client progress and client and family goals; Facilitated family meetings to provide an opportunity to discuss goals, progress, and to allow for transparency among/between family members; Collaboration and communication with established members of the client’s team and/or recommendations for other related services/additional professionals who could support the client (i.e. therapists, teachers/professors, tutors, advisors, advocates, neuropsychologists, special education services, disabilities services, etc.).

Check-ins. This is a client-initiated process where the coach and client set a schedule of when the client will update the coach on their daily or weekly progress. The ultimate goal is for all clients to embrace this check-in model and develop the skills to independently initiate updates with their coach as they progress through the coaching process.
