Creating Pathways to Student Success and Well-being

The Life Navigator School Program addresses today’s unprecedented learning landscape by helping students build strong executive functioning skills– including organization, managing distractions, cognitive flexibility, and self-regulation.

Our program benefits students in grades K-12, and we offer different opportunities for supporting the development of these skills across school type and grade level:
