Description: Do you want to help your child get started on school tasks and actually finish them? Join me for this in-person workshop where we'll explore four important factors to help your child get in gear. We'll explore these areas: routines, tools, team members, and self-talk.
We'll also look at WHY students may have trouble getting started, even when they know what to do. This session will give you some tools to support your child's executive function system at home!

*************************************************************************************
Workshops are designed to give parents practical tools and strategies they can use right away to support their children at home. I also share resources and ideas that can help educators guide their students more effectively in the classroom.
Workshops are typically 60-90 minutes long and are held in person in a small group setting, allowing time for discussion, questions, and real-life problem solving. I offer group workshops throughout the year, and each session is designed to be engaging, supportive, and immediately useful.
Upcoming workshop dates and topics will be posted here on the website and shared in my monthly OLS Academic Support Guide. (Click here to subscribe.)
