Executive Function Workshop

  Registration is closed for this event
This 90 minutes, in person, Parent / Carer Workshop addresses executive function for neurodivergent children and young people in primary and secondary school with challenges including ADHD. It will enable you to gain a deeper understanding of what executive function skills are, view your child’s behaviour through a different lens and better support them.

Does your child have poor organisational skills?

Do they struggle to prioritise their schoolwork?

Are they getting in trouble for being late?

Have you heard of the term 'poor working memory' and wondered what this means, how it affects your child and impacts their learning?

This workshop has been developed in response to numerous parents/carers seeking more information about supporting executive functions in our one to one advice clinics.
