Episode Description


Does your child or teen with ADHD chronically underestimate the amount of time needed to complete assignments? Do they suffer cognitive overload and freeze up when projects seemingly explode in complexity? Does this lead to anxiety, tears, and/or missed deadlines?

If so, we feel your pain — and your desire to start this new school year meeting the executive function challenges of ADHD head on. To that end, this webinar will explain how to teach and practice the skill of time estimation, using visual aids and timers for support. It will demonstrate how to break assignments into small parts, and how to create an environment that is conducive to initiating a homework routine. Finally, it will detail what a parent can do when their child is overwhelmed by schoolwork, or when the assignments are too difficult.

In this webinar, caregivers and educators will learn:

  • Why students with ADHD have time-management and other executive function challenges that lead to homework resistance
  • How auditory processing skills manifest in the classroom and may hamper learning
  • How to get kids started on the right foot at the beginning of the new school year, including establishing routines
  • How to teach and practice time estimation and other strategies to help kids start and complete homework
  • How to use visual aids, reminders, timers, and planners for students at different grade levels
  • How to help kids with homework and worksheets that have too many sets of directions
  • Scripts for talking with teachers if a student isn’t keeping up or needs help
