Executive Function Summer Workshops
Developing and strengthening executive function skills can help students become more independent and better able to manage their time, schoolwork, homework, social life, and more.
As the students proceed through each workshop, they will be asked to consider each area and how it relates to their own life and the decisions and choices they are facing right now or in the near future.
Students will apply these life skills to give them real-life practice in having more control and mastery over multiple aspects of their lives.
