    Have you ever worked with a student with executive functioning challenges on a cool organizational plan, only to later find it crumbled up at the bottom of their backpack? Ever try to teach a new technique to students on how to study smarter and they are NOT having it? With the stress and missed learning opportunities to practice executive functioning skills during critical developmental windows in the pandemic, are your students shutting down or acting out during independent work?

    Join Dr. Rebecca Branstetter, school psychologist and author of The Everything Guide to Executive Functioning, to learn the essential keys to boosting executive functioning that you can easily add in your day to boost student independence. In this interactive workshop, you’ll walk away with 10 research-based, practical, “learn it today, use it on Monday” skills to teach vital executive functioning skills like focus, time management, and follow-through to children and teens.
