You finally have clarity. After months—maybe years—of wondering why your child can’t seem to stay organized, or why you struggle to focus and follow through, your ADHD assessment has given you answers.

But now a new question hangs in the air: What do we do with this information?

Because even with a diagnosis, mornings can still be chaotic, deadlines still get missed, and family stress still feels high. You’ve tried systems, reminders, maybe even medication—but something still isn’t clicking. You want your child (or yourself) to feel capable and calm, not constantly behind or misunderstood.

That’s where the real transformation begins.

At Eckert Psychology & Education Centre in Calgary, we help families move from understanding to action. Through Executive Function Coaching and our signature Amazing ADHD Brain Programs, we teach practical, brain-based strategies that bring confidence, structure, and balance back into daily life.

Why Executive Functions Matter

Executive functions are the brain’s “control centre.” They’re the skills that help us plan, organize, regulate emotions, and follow through on goals.

When these skills lag—something very common with ADHD—bright, motivated people can still feel scattered or stuck.
You might see:

  • Losing focus or forgetting tasks
  • Struggling to start or finish projects
  • Feeling easily overwhelmed or reactive
  • Constantly fighting to stay on schedule

At Eckert Centre, we use a neurodiversity-affirming approach. We don’t try to “fix” ADHD—we teach tools that work with your brain, not against it.

We support children, teens, and adults ready to turn clarity into change.

  • Children & Teens

The Amazing ADHD Brain Programs

At Eckert Centre, we don’t stop at diagnosis. We’ve developed two exclusive, evidence-based programs that help families and individuals thrive beyond assessment.

Parenting My Child’s Amazing ADHD Brain

A 17-module, parent-focused program created by our clinical team to help parents:
