Does your child struggle with...
- Focus in the classroom?
- Completing tasks independently?
- Impulse and inhibition control?
- Emotion regulation?
- Following multi-step instructions, remembering daily tasks, and following roles or rules in play?
Then, this is a course for you.
Executive function and self-regulation skills are the mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully. The brain needs this skill set to filter distractions, prioritize tasks, set and achieve goals, and control impulses.
While we aren’t born with these skills, we are born with the potential to develop them through interactions and practice.
When children have opportunities to develop executive function and self-regulation skills, individuals and society experience lifelong benefits.
Who is this course for?
This new and exciting Executive Skills Program is for parents and their children with executive dysfunction or ADHD. Subscribers will receive access to online modules designed to improve various aspects of executive function including attention, planning, cognitive flexibility, emotion regulation, and organization.
