Executive Functioning Support for School-Year Success - Starts Sep’26

Success in school requires more than understanding the material. Students also need the executive functioning skills to manage their time, stay organized, prioritize responsibilities, follow through on commitments, and adapt when plans change.

MAAP Skills Lab is a weekly small-group program that helps students build those skills through practical instruction, guided application, and consistent accountability. Rather than focusing on homework or subject-specific content, students learn strategies they can apply across every class and throughout their school experience.

Students may join at the beginning of each month with a monthly commitment. Many continue throughout the school year as they strengthen their routines, develop greater independence, and build lasting executive functioning habits.

  • Students in Grade 8 and above who:

    • Understand the material but struggle to stay organized

    • Have difficulty managing time or keeping track of assignments

    • Procrastinate or have trouble following through

    • Feel overwhelmed balancing academics and activities

    • Want to become more confident, independent, and self-directed learners

    • Planning and prioritization

    • Organization systems

    • Time management

    • Study and learning strategies

    • Task initiation and follow-through

    • Self-advocacy and communication

    • Managing academic stress

    • Reflection, adjustment, and accountability

  • Every weekly session follows the same framework:

    Learn
    Develop a practical executive functioning skill.

    Apply
    Learn how to use that skill to better manage school, activities, and responsibilities.

    Reflect
    Identify what worked, what didn't, and what needs to change.

    Plan
    Leave each session with a clear plan for the week ahead.

    Individual Support When Needed

    Some students benefit from additional one-on-one coaching alongside the group experience. Individual MAAP coaching is available for students who need more personalized support or deeper intervention.

    • Weekly small-group sessions held every Tuesday from 4:00–5:00 PM

    • New students begin at the start of each month

    • $280 per month (monthly subscription)

    • Monthly commitment with an initial two-month minimum

Why Families Choose Axios

Personalized Strategies

Every student has different strengths and challenges. MAAP begins by understanding how a student currently manages school before introducing systems that fit the way they learn.

Practical Application


Students immediately apply new strategies to their own assignments, calendars, and responsibilities, making each session directly relevant to everyday academic life.

Building Independence


Our goal isn't simply to help students stay organized this week. It's to help them develop habits and systems they can use independently for years to come.

Partnership With Families

Parents receive practical guidance and updates so they can reinforce new habits without becoming the student's executive functioning coach.
