Executive Function Coaching - New Agenda

It will be well worth your time!

We engaged New Agenda during the summer transition session for my Aiden at Virginia Military Institute. He was feeling overwhelmed with the college coursework, his athletics (NCAA Football) and the rigors of VMIs military training. He was experiencing high anxiety, struggling with the best way to organize his assignments and just overall felt concerned about managing his time effectively.

New Agenda completed an assessment, and assigned him to the most fantastic advisor, Gwyn! Aiden has weekly, virtual sessions and touchpoints that help him stay organized and on track. His confidence has increased tremendously and it shows in his solid academic performance.

I learned a long time ago that it’s ok to ask for, and to seek help. I can honestly say this is the best decision we could have possibly made aside from his decision to go to VMI. He is learning lifelong skills - skills I personally had to struggle my way to develop.

If you think your college student, high school student, or even you could benefit, I would encourage you to check out New Agenda, LLC. It will be well worth your time!

Maria has a gift for a firm yet compassionate approach.

Our daughter is on the autism spectrum with ADHD and has worked with Maria since elementary school. She is now a senior in high school and has been accepted at her top college choice for next year. Maria has been a valuable partner in our daughter’s education by advocating for appropriate IEP services in school. In her individual sessions, Maria has provided our daughter with valuable self-advocacy skills for success in life.

Maria and Amie are worth their weight in gold.

Maria and Amie are worth their weight in gold. They have been integral in the success of both of our boys diagnosed with Anxiety and ADHD. Their ability to reach our boys and communicate and map out their needs to us in an understandable way is unmatched. Not only are they incredibly talented and effective, but their dedication to their jobs is incredible. We feel very fortunate to have found their services and are immensely grateful for their hard work and dedication.

We have been clients with Maria for the past 6 years.

We have been clients with Maria for the past 6 years. Our son is on the Autism Spectrum and struggles with Executive Function. We have been so happy with the continued growth that we have seen in him working with Maria. She not only helps him but is a huge wealth of information for both my husband and I and our 3 other children in helping our son become the best he can be.

Amie has been a blessing to our family.

Amie began working with my son while he was in ninth grade. He was struggling with organization and time management. His teachers knew he could do the work, but he often didn’t complete and turn in assignments. Amie helped him set up routines to organize his work load and break down assignments into manageable pieces. It was such a relief to not have to battle with him every night or argue about his grades and missing work. Amie has been a blessing to our family.

I highly recommend Amie and Maria.

Our daughter has a complicated learning profile and has received therapy for her entire life. When she was in second grade, Amie and Maria started working with her collaboratively. As a team, they were able to create significant changes in her academically and socially. They have taught her strategies to help manage her executive function challenges and gain independence while challenging her to achieve more! I highly recommend Amie and Maria for anyone who is struggling to motivate and hold their child accountable.

They are simply wonderful!

It is hard to put into words the talent, skill, and compassion Miss Amie and Miss Maria possess - they are simply wonderful! As the parents of an ADHD and LD child, watching our son struggle with daily planning and schoolwork was heartbreaking. We felt helpless. That all changed four years ago when we started working with Miss Amie and Miss Maria. Their unique backgrounds in therapeutic services and education and their independent approaches to each child complement each other and combine for remarkable results. Miss Amie and Miss Maria created actionable growth and support plans around our son’s strengths while providing support and strategies to address his specific challenges and needs. Their holistic and multifaceted approach has not only changed our son’s life and trajectory but also that of our entire family. The proof is in our son’s independence and confidence as a student, son, sibling, and friend. Four years ago, we could not have imagined the young man that he is today!

Amie was instrumental in helping our struggling teen son.

Amie was instrumental in helping our struggling teen son. She is smart, compassionate, reliable, and organized. And she really knows how to connect with kids (and their parents!). It was invaluable having a professional intermediary mitigate the stress of an extremely disorganized high schooler. I would highly recommend her.

I would recommend New Agenda to any family member or friend.

I can not more highly recommend Maria and New Agenda. Maria is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. She meets families where they are and actively works to find ways for each individual to succeed and reach their potential. She is a fierce advocate and passionate about this work. She does not see barriers but rather potential. I would recommend New Agenda to any family member or friend because I have seen firsthand the impactful work they can do!
