Executive functions are mental skills that we all use every day to get things done. Some children have weaknesses in executive functions and, regardless of how bright they are, struggle to do schoolwork and stay on top of tasks as a result. Here is an overview of executive functions and how they can be supported.
Kids who are bullied can experience negative physical, social, emotional, academic, and mental health issues. Our new resource explains different types of bullying, and explores strategies you can take in bullying situations.
Playing with your child in the first three years of life helps the two of you build a warm and loving relationship. Playing together also supports the development of essential social skills (like sharing and turn taking), language skills (like labeling objects, making requests, commenting), and thinking skills (like problem-solving). Make the most of your playtime with these tips.
Participants may attend any part of the training; however, those who wish to become an education advocate must attend both morning and afternoon sessions and complete the self-paced portion of the training. More information about the self-paced portion of training will be provided upon registration.
