Do you know children or teens with ADHD, ASD or learning disabilities who have a tough time starting and completing things they must do? Many educators who work with these kids feel frustrated and thwarted in their efforts to teach responsibility, motivation and follow through. In this training, Dr. Sharon Saline shares evidence-based, collaborative strategies to improve initiation, time management, organization, and prioritizing. She also shows you how to reduce procrastination, improve sustained attention and develop goal-directed persistence in your students. When you implement her strength-based, collaborative approach, you increase kids’ buy-in and their motivation, so they want to work with you to create solutions to daily challenges. Dr. Saline also explores the relationship between motivation, anxiety and low self-confidence and offers you practical tools to support students more effectively.
