Join us to develop your Executive Function & Literacy Toolkit to start the 2022 Fall season Successfully!
Executive Function & Literacy challenges can limit functional capabilities in all areas of occupation for Neurodiverse individuals with Autism, Dyslexia, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Nonverbal Learning Disability, TBI, or other cognitive disabilities. Students & adults alike can experience difficulties that lead to frustration and shutdown or other behaviors. Executive Function & Literacy skills are also necessary for Successful Transitions to Middle School, High School, Post-Secondary Education, the Workplace, and the Community. Preparing students early with efficient Executive Function and Literacy Strategies, Tools & Assistive Technologies promotes Student Autonomy, Confidence, and Independence.
This engaging workshop will explore a wealth of Tools for Organization, Time Management, Focus & Attention, Reminders, Short Term and Working Memory, Visual Schedules & Timers, Research and Study Tools, Note-Taking, Emotional Regulation, Behavior supports for Impulsivity & Self-Regulation, Reading and Writing support including comprehension & written expression, Accessible Educational Materials (AEM) and more! High Tech & Light Tech will be shared; ALL devices and platforms will be addressed. These tools & methods are supporting many students and professionals in schools, including those who are short-staffed & overwhelmed. The burden is lifted when we Empower the Learners and provide training that coincides with the busy schedules of education professionals and students! Learn about Inclusive Student-Led Learning & Training & successes. We will Discuss, Demonstrate and Explore Strategies, Tech Tools & Realistic Implementation methods together, even if you’re Short on Time, Staff, & Resources. Leverage Student Training to promote Independent Learning! If you are a staff professional, consultant or therapist, these skills & tools will add to your knowledge and toolkit for working with students and families. If you are a parent or home schooler, these tools & skills will be great to know to build upon at home for homework, as well as supportive knowledge for a tutor, coach, transition coordinator, administrator, case manager, student services coordinator, counselor and others!
Plan to bring your device(s) of choice, as we will explore options for Chromebooks, Laptops (Windows/ Mac), iPad/ iPhone, Android, Microsoft and Wearables. An abundance of resources & materials will be shared to revisit, review, practice and share as you prioritize what you bring into your next school year.
