Executive Function Coaching in Atlanta: Helping Students Manage ADHD, Dyslexia, and Anxiety

Meet Zoe, a high school junior from Atlanta, Georgia. At the start of her journey with Untapped Learning, Zoe was overwhelmed by the demands of school, extracurriculars, and family life. Her ADHD and anxiety made it difficult to stay organized, leading to frustration and feelings of helplessness. 

Six months later, Zoe’s story is one of transformation. “I went from feeling like I was drowning to feeling in control,” she says. Zoe’s experience highlights how executive function coaching can make a real difference for Atlanta students managing ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, or simply struggling to stay on top of a busy schedule.

By focusing on skills like time management, organization, and goal-setting, we’re helping students in Atlanta and across Georgia to tackle academic challenges with confidence and clarity.

Atlanta’s Educational Landscape: A Unique Challenge

The academic environment in Atlanta is highly competitive, with challenging programs in public schools, prestigious private schools, and renowned universities. For students dealing with ADHD, anxiety, or dyslexia, these academic demands can feel even more daunting. 

Untapped Learning’s executive function coaching tackles these challenges head-on, helping students build the tools they need to succeed, both in and out of the classroom.

Our coaching teaches students to: 

• Organize Their Lives: Develop effective systems for managing schoolwork, extracurriculars, and personal responsibilities.

Supporting Atlanta Students at Every Stage of Education

Middle School: 

During their middle school years, students develop the foundational executive function skills they’ll need for future academic success. Untapped Learning helps middle schoolers in Atlanta build confidence and independence by teaching them how to create effective organizational systems and study habits. 

For example, we supported Jack who is a middle school student with inattentive ADHD. He often struggled with procrastination and completing assignments on time. Through our coaching, Jack learned how to break tasks into smaller, manageable steps and create a structured schedule that worked for him. 

Today, Jack not only completes his assignments on time but has also developed a sense of pride in his accomplishments.

High School: 

For high school students, the academic pressure is immense. This is especially true for those managing ADHD, anxiety, or learning differences like dyslexia. Untapped Learning’s executive function coaching helps students balance the demands of their coursework, prepare for exams, and manage their academic responsibilities alongside their personal lives. 

Alex, a high school sophomore with dyslexia, found it challenging to keep up with reading assignments and often fell behind. Executive function coaching gave Alex the tools to break down large reading tasks and leverage assistive technology, helping him stay on track. With our guidance, Alex learned how to manage his time efficiently and now approaches his coursework with renewed confidence.

High-Achieving Students: 

For high-achieving students, balancing academic excellence with extracurricular activities can lead to burnout. Untapped Learning’s coaching provides strategies for prioritization, time management, and self-regulation—ensuring that these students excel without sacrificing their mental health.

Sophia was enrolled in multiple AP courses and led her school’s debate team. She struggled to manage her responsibilities without overwhelming herself. Through coaching, Sophia learned how to prioritize tasks, utilize time-blocking techniques, and make space for self-care. 

As a result, she is thriving academically while maintaining her well-being.

College: 

Transitioning to college can be a major adjustment, particularly for students with ADHD or anxiety. Whether attending the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Emory University, or another institution, Untapped Learning supports college students in managing increased academic demands, staying organized, and succeeding in their new environment. 

Emma, a high-achieving student at Emory University, faced challenges balancing her academics, extracurriculars, and personal life. With our coaching, Emma developed a structured yet flexible schedule that allowed her to manage her responsibilities while making time for self-care. 

Coaching for ADHD, Dyslexia, and Anxiety

ADHD: 

Our executive function coaching is tailored to the needs of students with ADHD. We provide strategies to improve focus, organization, and time management by breaking down tasks and creating routines that make success achievable.

Dyslexia

Students with dyslexia often need additional support to organize their workload and manage assignments. Our coaching builds these skills, helping students improve their academic performance while gaining confidence in their abilities.

Anxiety

Anxiety can be a significant barrier to success, especially in Georgia’s demanding academic environment. Untapped Learning helps students manage anxiety by creating structured systems that break tasks into manageable steps, reducing overwhelm and boosting overall confidence.

Balancing Athletics and Academics

In Atlanta, many students are not just focused on their studies—they’re also athletes, pushing themselves to succeed both on the field and in the classroom. Juggling intense training with schoolwork can be tough, but our coaching helps student-athletes build routines that bring structure to their busy lives.

Take Sarah, a swimmer from Atlanta who had her sights set on a college athletic scholarship. The demands of training and school often left her feeling stretched thin. Through our coaching, Sarah learned time-blocking techniques that allowed her to manage her swim training alongside her coursework. 

As a result, Sarah thrived academically and athletically, earning a spot on a Division I swim team.
