• Do you have students who are disorganized and may not have the materials they need or even turn in the homework they have completed?
• Is their desk space, locker or backpack a 'black hole' for papers and mateials?
• Do you observe students who struggle to "stop and read the room" and meet the demands of the situation?
• Or do you see students who struggle to initiate complex academic assignments, procrastinate and then run out of time to do their 'best work'?
• Do you see students who are constantly multitasking, so tasks/assignments take twice as long as they should?
• Do you wish your student had a sense of urgency when it comes to time so that tasks are completed, and routines to get out the door or to the next class happen on time?
• Does it seem that they have an inability to breakdown the demands of an assignment and a sense of how to start?
• Do students seem prompt dependent? Are you constanly reminding them of the materials they need and the steps to take?

Whether your student needs to complete tasks, classwork, or homework, in this practical strategies seminar you will learn concrete tools to help students to manage their attention, time and materials to successfully record, break down, complete and close out tasks. Help students keep pace and make timely transitions and follow routines.  Practical strategies will be given to help with the initiation of difficult assignments and to ensure work is returned in a timely manner. Prevent overhwhelm and teach students how to accurately size up assignments and accurately determine the time required to do the work.  Learn dozens of practical strategies to support students in developing independent executive function skills to self-regulate and manage impulses!
