In this engaging one-hour presentation, participants will gain a clear understanding of executive functioning—its definition, role, and impact on student success in the classroom. We will explore real-world examples of how executive functioning challenges may manifest in academic settings, such as difficulties with organization, time management, and self-regulation. Additionally, attendees will be introduced to a practical framework designed to support students with specific learning disabilities, as well as strategies that benefit all learners. Through actionable insights and strategies, educators will leave equipped to foster a more inclusive and supportive learning environment across curricular areas.
