From Forgetful to Focused: Executive Function Strategies That Stick
Description
For students with ADHD, forgetfulness, procrastination, and disorganization are everyday challenges. But these are more than bad habits—they’re executive function (EF) skill deficits. In this session, attendees will learn how to integrate EF strategies into real academic tasks so students not only build skills—but actually use them. Drawing from the SMARTS Executive Function curriculum and grounded in the Transtheoretical Model of Change, this session helps attendees understand how to match strategies with a student’s readiness to change. Through practical tools, real-world coaching stories, and guided implementation, participants will gain the confidence to embed EF support into everyday routines—at home and in the classroom. Whether a student is in denial, trying something new, or ready to build habits, this session will show how to meet them where they are and help them move toward independence.
