[REPLAY] Executive Functioning Strategies for Neurodivergent Kids & Teens
Thanks to all who joined (30 of you!) LIVE for yesterday’s monthly parent workshop. I loved answering your questions and talking through some of the strategies I have seen work over my twenty years working with neurodivergent kids, teens, and their families.
In this workshop we covered:
What exactly is executive functioning and how does it related to autism, ADHD, and anxiety
How motivation is related to executive functioning and strategies for increasing your child’s motivation
Strategies for supporting your child’s independence In daily routines and self-care
Strategies for supporting your child’s homework independence and self-advocacy with teachers
Strategies for setting up your home with visuals to increase your child’s independence and reduce anxiety for everyone
Already know you want to join for June’s parent workshop? We will be talking about Summer, Siblings, & Screens! Registration is open at the link.
New this week…
ADHD is AWESOME is HERE!
Congrats to my friends Penn Holderness and Kim Dean on their book launch!
In light of the book release, I was invited on the Holderness Family podcast two weeks ago to talk about helping ADHD brains and how parenting a child with ADHD is like being their coach.
Stay tuned for the second part of my conversation with Penn and Kim coming next week when I hosted them my MY podcast!
