Many of these strategies can also help adults who struggle with organization, time management, and procrastination in their daily lives, school, and work
Guided by the renowned cognitive specialist Sarah Ward, Learn It Today – Use It Tomorrow immerses you in a full day of interactive learning.
You’ll discover what executive function skills are and why they matter, how your actions play a role in their development, plus dozens of skill development strategies that you can start using immediately to improve a child or student’s ability to get things done.
Designed to be functional, you won’t feel like you need to reinvent the wheel to make these strategies work for you.
