A Path to Independence: Guiding Children in Managing Time, Space and Materials- Member School HRS Speaker Series

With Sarah Ward, M.S., CCC/SLP 

February 8, 2024
6:00-7:00pm PST

Executive function skills refer to the mental skills we use to pay attention, to organize and plan, to start tasks and stay focused on them, to manage emotions and be flexible, and to keep track of what we are doing. Young children rely on these skills to follow a sequence of instructions while older children need these skills to “break a task down” into a sequence of steps as the demands for independent learning increase. Executive function skills impact students at home, in school and in social situations. Join us to learn more about executive function skills and practical strategies to support students.
