Does your child ever struggle with staying organized, following through on tasks, or managing time? These challenges are often related to executive functioning — the brain’s “management system,” which helps us plan, focus, remember instructions, and regulate actions to reach goals.
Join us for a parent training led by Lindsey Nikaidoh. Designed for parents of students of all ages, this session will provide realistic, low-stress strategies to support executive functioning at home — strategies that fit naturally into busy family routines.
