Episode Description

Students who have ADHD and other executive functioning deficits are often misunderstood by educators. Chances are they have late or missing assignments, and they procrastinate on long-term papers and projects. Students’ frustration with learning, organization, time management, and planning may be perceived by teachers as laziness or disinterest. This disconnect may lead to less-than-desirable academic outcomes for many students with ADHD and learning disabilities.

Teaching the skills these students lack helps them to succeed academically — and in all areas of their lives. Through repetition, self-advocacy, and staying active, students with ADHD and LDs can thrive.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

  • Research involving executive functioning skills development
  • Proven strategies to help students establish consistency and reinforce accountability through home and classroom routines
  • Actionable supports that can help level the playing field

Untapped’s mission is to help students with executive function challenges to develop the skills they need to succeed academically and beyond.
