About the Webinar

Back by popular demand!

Following the outstanding response to her session at this year’s Educators’ Institute, Terri Jackson returns for a practical webinar focused on supporting executive function in the classroom.

Executive functioning skills such as planning, organization, and self-regulation are essential for learning, but they can present significant challenges for students with learning disabilities and ADHD. In this webinar, educators will explore how executive functioning differences can appear in everyday classroom situations and, most importantly, what they can do to help.

Terri will share practical, classroom-ready strategies including visual supports, structured routines, task breakdown, and metacognitive approaches. Participants will leave with strategies they can use right away to support students, maintain high expectations, and build greater independence.
