***This three day camp is primarily offered during late spring and summer. If you are looking for a similar class September-April, I have two ongoing classes that offer similar topics: Executive Function Fundamentals that covers most of the lessons taught in my Executive Function Skills Camp Series: https://outschool.com/classes/executive-function-and-study-skills-fundamentals-ongoing-for-neurodiverse-kids-w-8zLmXI76 Ongoing Support Class that covers executive function topics as well as...

Class supports executive function development in neurodivergent learners including autistic learners as well as those with ADHD and anxiety. Templates are shared in PDF and Google Doc form to support learners with dyslexia and dysgraphia.
Please try to print out any handouts or guides posted in the Outschool classroom before class begins. Whenever possible, I also try to offer alternatives such as Google Doc versions. It is a good idea to have a pen or pencil, paper, and colored markers or colored pencils available at every class.
Since this is a class for ADHD learners, subjects such as 504 plans, Individual Education Plans, and the use of medication to manage ADHD may come up. In terms of medication, I always address this when it is mentioned by saying that it can be very effective to help learners manage their ADHD, but different families handle this differently. I also mention other ways to manage ADHD such as exercise and structure.
