Webinar, March 17th, 2022, with the Cambridge, MA, SEPAC. Free & open to the public. What are executive functioning skills? They are mental skills we use to pay attention, to organize and plan tasks and materials, to start tasks and stay focused on them, to manage emotions and be flexible, and to keep track of what we are doing.
* The Cambridge SEPAC welcomes Massachusetts’ based executive functioning skills expert guru Sarah Ward to discuss this topic.
* If your younger child has trouble following a sequence of instructions, or if your older child has trouble starting, completing and turning in assignments on time, they are struggling with executive functioning skills.
* In this practical strategies seminar by executive functioning skills guru Sarah Ward, caregivers will learn:
- What the executive function skills are and how they affect academic and personal performance
- How to help children develop executive function skills through everyday activities.
- To help children learn to initiate tasks, follow routines, transition between tasks and think in an organized way and encourage self-initiative to manage homework and tasks
- To help students understand time demands and internally feel the sweep of time to focus and complete tasks in allotted time frames.
- To show students how to plan and complete homework, tasks and chores with less supervision and fewer prompts.
