March 13, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Free

SPED*NET, in partnership with Wilton Public Schools and Newtown Sped PTA, presents this webinar.

Sharon Saline, PsyD, will teach parents concrete strategies to meet neurodivergent learners where they are and help them strengthen essential executive functioning skills. With current research on the developing brain and real-life case examples, she shows attendees how and why executive functioning skills are critical to the learning process for all children and teens, especially for kids with ADHD, learning disabilities, level one autism and twice-exceptionality. Dr. Saline also discusses tools for improving motivation, overcoming conflicts, building collaborations, and managing common anxiety.

Participants will leave this presentation with practical, tangible strategies for identifying and nurturing cognitive strengths in children, reducing daily family conflicts and fostering essential self-confidence.

Registration is required and available here.
