| Description | | Description
Research shows that executive function skills affect
school readiness, school success, college graduation rates, work and life
success; and these skills can be taught and encouraged at any age. These monthly sessions (2 hour information
session with a 1 hour "coaching" follow up session) focus on fun,
everyday activities, including using children's books, that educators and
providers can use to promote and support the development of an essential
executive function skill.
Objective
Children are primed to communicate at birth and this
skill continues to develop as they grow and learn. Communicating is much more than understanding
language, speaking, reading and writing – it is the skill of determining what
one wants to communicate and realizing how our communications will be
understood by others. |
