Juegos mentales para personas con TDAH - Campamento de verano - Tema 4: Inicio de tareas y procrastinación

Students love to learn through play!  So why not make learning about ADHD and executive functions easier to digest by using play!

The Brain Games ADHD summer camp provides this for your student.

The fourth session in the summer camp series is about: TASK INITIATION AND PROCRASTINATION!

During each four-day /week group summer camp section, students will engage in a variety of challenges and games to practice skills related to this executive function topic of the week.  There are six different camp sessions to choose from. In each session, we'll take a deep dive into one of the following executive functions that are related to ADHD challenges. Choose one or all, depending on your schedule.  The content does not build from one session to another:

Most activities are in the digital format, but the campers may need to print a worksheet ahead of class or need to use some basic supplies such as colored pencils/markers, scissors, and glue.  A list will be sent to registrants prior to the start of camp.  

ADHD Coaching is not intended to be therapeutic or to replace professional support services.  The ADHD coach's role is to facilitate self discovery and practrice of strategies that help one address executive function challenges as they relate to ADHD. The camper should be aware of what ADHD is and they have a diagnosis or are in process of having a professional evaluation regarding their challenges.
