Episode Description

Executive function (EF) skills are the mental processes that enable us to plan, focus our attention, remember instructions, stay organized, and successfully manage our time. These skills are crucial for student success, but many children with ADHD, learning differences, and co-existing conditions lag behind in EF.

We will provide educators with the tools they need to teach these skills through an academic lens. Integrating these strategies in a classroom helps all students, those with and without ADHD and co-existing conditions.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

  • Implement clear classroom expectations and routines
  • Set up learning management system portals to decrease student questions and limit confusion
  • Manage and follow student accommodations (504 Plans and IEPs)
  • Incorporate movement in your classroom to improve focus—while avoiding chaos
  • Teach students how to advocate for themselves through role play

“Absolutely outstanding! You are truly a gifted educator! Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge.”

“This was an excellent webinar. The suggestions were clear and concise. So often I find that other webinars out there do not give practical, real-life, implementable advice. This was different and I’m ecstatic to try these with my son (and even myself). Thank you!”
