Unstuck and On Target!

Unstuck and OnTarget! is a research based intervention developed at the Ivymount School to promote problem solving in students who struggle with executive function deficits. The curriculum explicitly teaches children ages 7-14 flexibility, coping, and goal setting through fun lessons that work for learners with autism, ADHD, and other challenges. This program is a learning experience for the whole family with weekly student classes, as well as weekly parent classes.

Applied Unstuck

This group offers students who have gone through the basic Unstuck and On Target program a hands on opportunity to apply their new skills. Students will work together to generalize the skills they have learned by practicing how to be flexible and make plans to complete activities.

Both programs are offered Saturday mornings for 12 weeks starting February 1 - May 10. Minimum number of participants required for group to run. Participants will be screened to ensure they can access the curriculum.

Game Time

Game Time is a social-learning curriculum that provides the “unwritten rules” of successful game play. Throughout the 12-week course, students will learn a total of 6 "rules". Game Time is taught in a small group setting through explicit instruction of beneficial scripts and strategies, paired with weekly game playing opportunities to practice and generalize learned skills. Targeted skills include but are not limited to: “why” we play games with others (spoiler, it is not to win!), the importance of reviewing the rules before you play, flexibility, taking turns, and sportsmanship. Families are provided with a weekly home extension of learned concepts, and scripts and strategies to practice at home.

Offered Saturday mornings for 12 weeks starting February 1 - May 10. Minimum number of participants required for group to run. Participants will be screened to ensure they can access the curriculum. Completion of the Unstuck and OnTarget! Program is recommended but not required.
