Support for Success—Tailored to Every Learning Style

Neurodivergent Student Coaching

Struggles with Organization, Focus, or Navigating School Expectations?

Many bright, capable students face challenges in school, social settings, and daily responsibilities—not because they aren’t trying, but because traditional systems don’t always support the way they think and learn.

For neurodivergent students, navigating expectations can be overwhelming, leading to:

  • Difficulty keeping up with assignments and deadlines
  • Challenges with planning, organization, and follow-through
  • Struggles in social interactions and group settings
  • Overwhelm with transitions, unstructured tasks, or changing routines
  • Inconsistent motivation, procrastination, or avoidance of difficult tasks

If these sound familiar, executive function coaching can help by providing structured, personalized strategies that align with the student's strengths.

Understanding and Expertise

What is Neurodivergent Student Coaching?

At New Frontiers, we don’t believe in forcing students into a one-size-fits-all approach—instead, we work with how they think and learn best. Our coaching process helps students:

Improve Executive Function Skills

Strengthen organization, time management, and planning.

Develop Personalized Study & Learning Strategies

Learn how to retain and apply information effectively.

Gain Confidence in Social & Academic Settings

Build communication, problem-solving, and self-advocacy skills.

Set and Achieve Meaningful Goals

Develop structured approaches to prioritizing tasks and following through.

Balance Academic, Social, and Personal Responsibilities

Learn to navigate school demands while maintaining emotional well-being.

Instead of expecting students to adapt to rigid academic expectations, we give them the tools and strategies to succeed on their terms.

From Overwhelmed to On Track

When Coaching Can Make a Difference

Many students want to succeed but feel frustrated or stuck when traditional methods don’t work for them. Coaching provides structure, strategy, and support to help students. When students feel empowered with the right tools, they become more confident, capable, and engaged in their own success.

Coaching can make a difference if you would like to:

Keep up with assignments, deadlines, and responsibilities

Strengthen study skills and focus with personalized strategies

Navigate social settings, classroom expectations, and group work

Manage frustration, self-motivate, and build academic resilience

Balance school, social life, and personal interests while avoiding burnout

Why Work with a New Frontiers?

We tailor our coaching to meet their specific needs, helping them overcome challenges and unlock their potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

You ask, we
answer

Common questions answered to support the journey.

Coaching focuses on how students approach learning, problem-solving, and daily responsibilities—not just subject content or emotional support. We help students build executive function, self-advocacy, and independence to succeed in all areas of life.

Coaching supports students with ADHD, autism, NVLD, executive function challenges, and learning differences. If a student struggles with organization, time management, academic motivation, or social engagement, coaching can help.

Each session is personalized, but students typically:

  • Review what has happened since the last session
  • Assess what’s working and where they need support
  • Strategize effective approaches to overcoming obstacles and achieving their goals
  • Plan for the week ahead to ensure follow-through and accountability

Sessions are goal-oriented, interactive, and focused on building lasting strategies and habits.

Parents play a key role in sharing feedback and not enabling dependent behaviors. While coaching helps students develop independence, we also offer guidance to parents on how to support their child’s growth without becoming their personal assistant.

We take a personalized approach to matching students with the right coach based on their needs, learning style, and personality. Our goal is to ensure that each student has a supportive and productive coaching relationship that fosters growth.

We are a fully virtual coaching service, which allows us to pair students with the best coach for their needs—regardless of location. Virtual coaching also offers flexibility in scheduling and session length to better fit a student’s routine.
