Beyond BookSmart offers Executive Function skills presentations for parents including parent groups (SEPACs, SEACs, PTA, CHADD, etc.), to help parents better understand and be able to support their children in developing Executive Function skills. Parents will learn new tools and strategies that they can use right away with their children. We also teach parents a new understanding of the relationship between Executive Function skills and academic performance. Our presentations address both the mindset and the specific tools and strategies that help students with Executive Function challenges make progress. The goal of our presentations is to help parents become more effective at helping their children develop autonomy and ownership of their academic performance.
Topics covered are:
- What sets the stage for overcoming Executive Function difficulties?
- How do we foster growth and change in children?
- How do Executive Function skills affect academic performance?
- Presentation: Information is presented in a lecture/information sharing format with Power Point slides followed by Q&A (60-90 minutes).
