Class Experience

Understanding what Executive Function skills are and how they impact our daily life can help a student reach their full potential! Let's learn about these key skills and how to improve them to make school, homework and managing all we need to get done easier.  

In our first class we will learn about what Executive Function skills are and how we use them in trying to complete day to day tasks.  In the second class, students will take an EF self assessment to see where their EF strengths and weaknesses are.  Students who are comfortable will be encouraged to share, ask questions and discuss, but will not be required to.
