Does your neurodivergent student often struggle with impulsivity, difficulty paying attention, trouble managing emotions, and difficulty shifting focus from one task to another? Are you tired of the way these challenges impact their lives?

Through this live, interactive webinar you will learn ways to help your young adult:
*Gain a better understanding of executive functions (EF)
*Break down common executive function roadblocks
*Investigate challenges and develop specific methods to work through them
