Executive functioning is an essential skill required for managing daily activities. Tasks such as attending college classes on time, staying organized with coursework, and participating in social and recreational events can be challenging. At the College Internship Program (CIP), our interdisciplinary team provides comprehensive executive function support for students on the autism spectrum and those with learning differences.
By incorporating executive function support across our programs, CIP empowers students to succeed academically, socially, and personally. Join CIP to build the skills needed for a successful and fulfilling college experience.
CIP staff help support students to:
Staying on track with college academics requires an understanding of organization concepts and practices. Bookends EF Groups help teach organizational skills in relation to academic coursework to help students master the time management, planning, and breaking down of tasks and assignments that is necessary while pursuing college level classes.
Life Skills coaches work with students individually within the apartment setting to develop executive functioning strategies related to time management, task completion, and organization.
Reframing is a term used to describe the process in which a person converts the thoughts and feelings about a negative situation into a positive pathway for change. CIP’s Reframing Module helps students plan and organize for their day.
Reframing also includes an emotional regulation process to help students identify their thoughts and feelings. Weekly and daily themes help students with self-understanding and an important structure to start one’s day.
