Executive Function and Hybrid Education: Closing the Gap from Intention to Action

A common theme of this school year is that many students with executive function challenges and/or ADHD are not thriving in the hybrid model. It is so difficult for teachers to teach explicit strategies for task initiation, sustained attention, prioritizing, etc. and it is up to parents to somehow manage homework completion as well as synchronous schedules at home. There is a BIG gap in a student’s ability to navigate online school schedules, assignments, and due dates as well as manage the workload. Sarah will share many practical executive function-based interventions families could implement to improve organization, task, and time management.
