Close the %#@* door! Executive Mis-Functioning and Other Fun Side Effects of Neurodiversity

Does this sound familiar: Kitchen cabinet doors open 24/7? Leaving to run errands and your child forgot her shoes? Taking 762 minutes to gather all the supplies needed to work on a project? Finishing the project and leaving a trail of supplies and smudges and paper behind them as they head outside? Executive Functioning skills often lag behind in our neurodiverse kids. Many of our gifted kids can solve complex mathematical equations, but not remember to brush their teeth in the morning. Join this chat to learn more about executive functioning skills and strategies to improve them in your child (and maybe yourself!).
