The transition back to school often comes with changes in routines and new organizational expectations, which can lead to challenges for some children and adolescents with attention, planning, and time management.
Join MPG's Kylie Davis, PsyD, and Kelsey Berg, BS, for an evidence-based webinar on attention and executive functioning in children and adolescents. You'll learn how executive functioning skills develop, why some students struggle more than others, and practical strategies families can use to support organization, task completion, focus, and independence throughout the school year.
Key takeaways:
- How attention and executive functioning skills develop and what challenges are common at different ages.
- Evidence-based strategies to improve organization, planning, task initiation, time management, and follow-through at home.
- Ways to support motivation and independence without increasing conflict or constant reminders.
- How to distinguish typical adjustment challenges from signs that a child or teen may benefit from a psychological or neuropsychological evaluation.
- What comprehensive testing can help identify and how it can guide meaningful school and treatment recommendations.
