THE FINDING FOCUS APPROACH
I believe it is important to help clients solve immediate problems AND build lifelong skills. Finding Focus is informed by my backgrounds in education and psychology -- specifically, identity development and automaticity research.
Identity. I want my clients to understand that anyone can learn new executive function strategies and skills. When clients experience and internalize growth, meaningful shifts in identity can occur. For children, it is especially important to foster a positive sense of self and avoid the adoption of labels like "disorganized" or "absent minded". This is for both general health and because of the strong link between identity and motivation.
Automaticity. Simple straight forward tools and tricks can help anyone build helpful habits and get things done. The goal of automaticity is to make hard work easier through routine and use of environmental cues.
Finding focus is about empowering individuals and simply making life easier.
