Learn Online: Executive Function

Overview

Is your child struggling with learning or coping with the normal demands of daily life – even though they seem smart?

It could be that they are experiencing executive function difficulties. It can be so frustrating and exhausting living with children who have executive function difficulties as they might:

  • not look before they leap
  • be sensitive to criticism and stubborn in their approach to problems
  • be emotional, distractible and daydreamers to the point you have to repeat yourself
  • need many reminders and support to get started on tasks and complete them
  • forget what they are doing
  • leaves messes for others to clean up
  • struggle to achieve at school, even though it seems they can do better
  • have messy handwriting with lots of mistakes
  • be poor at “reading the room” and have trouble with managing relationships
  • have a low frustration tolerance

It can be overwhelming to know where to start with intervention or to know what to do next.

 

Our Executive Function, learn online, course includes 6, short and easy to digest modules.

This self-paced program is designed to:

  • provide you with a framework, or “map” of how to approach and navigate intervention for your child regardless of how their executive function difficulties present
  • increase your understanding of executive function and how it applies to your child
  • introduce strategies for intervention, some of which you can put into effect immediately.
