Executive skills are critical to the acquisition of academic skills, but, more importantly, they are the skills students need to get things done. They are brain-based skills such as task initiation, sustained attention, working memory, planning, organization, and goal-directed persistence that are absolutely critical to school success. Some students seem to acquire them naturally, but many students struggle with them.
Join Dr. Peg Dawson, co-author of the books Smart but Scattered and Smart but Scattered Teens, as she describes how these skills develop throughout childhood and suggest strategies parents can use to help children acquire the critical skills they need to be successful students.
This workshop is limited to 30 people in each session and requires a valid email address for the virtual meeting link.
