Working memory, organization, and self-monitoring are important EF skills that reading and writing depend on.

Do you notice that your child: <ul><li>Writes slowly?</li><li>Avoids school work?</li><li>Rereads passages frequently?</li><li>Takes a long time to complete schoolwork?</li></ul>They may have executive functioning difficulties. Executive functioning difficulties interfere with learning on a daily basis. Fortunately there is so much you can do to help your child improve their executive functioning skills.In our webinar, we’ll discuss these issues and other ways EF plays a critical role in reading and writing. This is a 30-minute webinar followed by a live Q&amp;A session with our speakers.Testimonials from previous webinar attendees:“I’m so glad I was able to attend this webinar. I came in thinking that the behaviors my kid was displaying were exclusive to her. I’ve since implemented some tips and am seeing positive results.” - Katie (Parent of 6th grader)“I signed up my kid for a winter writing workshop after attending the webinar. I was grateful that Tiffany was able to work with him on his project based assignment. My stress levels were down and I could tell that he had actually learned the subject. He was so proud of himself for finishing his class project before anyone.” - Amanda (Parent of 3rd grader)About the Speakers: Thea Slingland&#x27;s experience with neurodiversity started at a very young age.
