About Us
Brainwise Strategies exists to help people with ADHD navigate the maze of executive functioning.
For people who struggle with ADHD the difficulties often lie in executive functions. Executive functions are the mental processes necessary to perform certain activities like planning, organizing, strategizing, paying attention, remembering details and managing time and space. It is hard to realize your full potential, talents or abilities when you struggle to execute on these skills.
Whether at school, home or in the office, ADHD can make seemingly simple tasks appear monumental.
We do this by raising awareness and helping our clients develop the skills and strategies for success in life. If you feel stuck, disorganized, cluttered and frustrated, you can break the pattern of difficulty and establish skills to help you reach your goals.
