Beyond “Just Get Organized” (A Parent Workshop for Middle School Executive Functioning)
October 28 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Free
For parents of midddle schoolers with and without ADHD and learning disabilities:
Why does a capable middle schooler struggle to start homework, remember assignments, manage time or follow through — despite knowing what to do?
In this interactive 90-minute workshop, education therapist Charlie Del Santo, MA, will help you understand the executive functioning skills behind these everyday challenges.
You will:
- Explore common middle school struggles with organization, time management, transitions, follow-through and self-monitoring
- Identify where and why your own child may be getting stuck
- Connect everyday challenges to specific executive functioning skills
- Learn practical strategies that can be used at home and at school
- Develop a simple, individualized plan to help your child build greater independence, confidence and success.
Most importantly, you will obtain practical tools — not just advice to “get organized.”
