This year, we all need a little extra support with our planning, organization, and thinking skills. For students with executive functioning deficits, keeping up with non-traditional learning schedules add more stress that can interrupt learning. They may feel frustrated, anxious, or even ashamed because they have a hard time:
- Paying attention
- Organizing and planning
- Starting tasks and staying focused on them
- Managing emotions
- Keeping track of what they’re doing
You’re going to need the right set of tools to help them stay on course, build confidence, and be better able to work independently.
In this webinar recording, Diana Petschauer, M.Ed., ATP and Laurie McIntosh, M.S., OT/ATP show you a powerful toolkit to support executive function in the classroom and for Remote/eLearning. Technologies shown will include:
- Co:Writer® (Word Prediction and Voice Typing to get ideas unstuck and into writing)
- Snap&Read™ (Text to Speech, PDF Annotation, Text Leveling, Study Tools/Highlighter to stay focused and organize assignments)
- Google Extensions, Accessibility & Apps for scheduling & reminders, visual schedules, mindfulness.
- Wearable technology, adaptive equipment and light tech options
