Executive Function Groups
Some kids just need a little help developing their Executive Functioning skills. These important skills allow a person to plan, focus, remember and manage multiple tasks. But, just because a differently-wired kid struggles in these areas, doesn’t mean they can’t improve.
These weekly classes allow kids with similar struggles to work together, with the help of a professional facilitator, in a small-group setting to practice:
-
Asking for help and problem solving.
-
Processing and handling distractions.
-
Overcoming overwhelm and breaking down tasks.
-
Sustaining attention on non-preferred activities.
-
Utilizing mind-shifting and flexibility when expectations don’t match reality.
-
Reaching the next stage of independence.
