“Allison Maguire’s Executive Functioning workshops are IMPACTFUL and ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Her workshops allow our Great Potential NYSED Liberty Partnerships Program students’ at SUNY Purchase College to perform better academically because they learn to organize their school work and better manage their time. Our students walk out of each workshop understanding how their brains work. The experience is TRULY OUTSTANDING!“

– Jackie Smith (Program Director, Liberty Partnerships, NYSED SUNY Purchase College Program Great Potential)

“It was very nice meeting with you. You are very inspirational and taught me how to keep my schedule clean, simple and easy. You also taught me tricks so that I won’t get distracted easily and can concentrate in my classes.”

– Nataly (Student, Grade 7)

“Allison was a huge help to my teenage son. She made a connection with him easily (and that is no easy feat!). I knew the coaching sessions were working when, to my surprise, my son was actually scheduling his own appointment times with her! She gave him strategies to get organized and stay on track. Allison is easy to work with and very knowledgeable.”

- Gina (Parent)

“I liked meeting with you. You really helped me out a lot with your lessons! Keeping myself organized was one of my favorites and I use it all the time. I hope to see you again when I’m in high school.”

– Izabella (Student, Grade 8)

“I was extremely nervous about starting my first year of college.

Will I get lost?
How will I handle all the demands of my courses?
What if I don’t understand the work?
How can I be expected to give a presentation to my class? 

Allison taught me how to manage my time, prioritize my work, follow lectures more effectively and ask for help. Freshman year was sort of fun! Thanks, Allison!”

-Isa (College Student)

“Allison was a game changer!!!! Her weekly meetings and carefully designed lessons helped recharge and increase my daughter’s confidence and raise her academic performance. Allison’s weekly written summaries also helped me understand how some of the things I took for granted - like doing homework - requires so many steps and intentional actions from a learner. I never really thought about this before! I have a newfound respect for what it means to be a student.”

– AnnaLisa (Parent)

“Having Allison work with our middle school group is amazing. She is creative and fun. The energy that she brings to every session creates an excitement to the point that the students always ask when she’s coming back. Working on day-to-day routines and thinking about processing functions isn’t easy but Allison always makes it relatable. Through her activities, she ties Executive Function to our students’ everyday lives in a fun way. She makes a real difference in our group.”

– Lisa & Tracy (Middle School Counselors)
