Help for Kids Struggling With Homework, Focus, & Frustration
If homework turns into a battle, your child shuts down, or you feel like you’re constantly reminding and negotiating (and reminding again), you’re not alone.

You Might Be Here Because
• Homework turns into a battle (or just…doesn’t happen)
• Your child avoids, rushes through, or melts down during school tasks
• You’re constantly reminding, prompting, or sitting with them just to get through it
• They can do the work but struggle to stay on track or manage frustration
• Feedback, correction, or mistakes quickly derail things
What This Service Is
Functional Learning Support builds the real-life skills your child needs to navigate school expectations more independently and successfully. This is not tutoring; we’re not reteaching content. Instead, we target the skills behind the struggle.
We May Work On
• Finding ways to make non-preferred tasks more tolerable
• Identifying accommodations, like breaks, or modifications, like working in a different area with different materials, to get the job done
• Increasing focus and attention
• Task initiation and completion
• Time management and organization
• Tolerating frustration, feedback, and correction
• Problem-solving and flexibility

| You’re seeing frustration, avoidance, or shutdown around learning | You want someone to simply “get the work done” with your child |
| You want to build independence—not just get through tonight’s assignment | Your child needs more than just learning support (see our infographic for more of our service offerings) |
| You’re open to being involved and supporting change at home | Your child is cooperative with schoolwork completion but continues to struggle academically |
