Do your students with difficulties in reading, math, or writing also struggle to stay on task, complete work, find their supplies, and turn in homework, even when it’s complete? Learn about the overlap between Executive Functioning skills and learning disabilities in this session, which walks participants through supporting the student’s executive functioning skills, from writing their IEP goal to strategies for implementing Specially Designed Instruction for related skills. The session will highlight specific strategies for individual students, as well as modifications for teaching these skills in whole or small groups.
