Episode Description

Social-emotional learning (SEL) teaches students of all ages five core competencies that can be applied in the classroom and at home: self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, relationship skills, and effective problem-solving. These are the life skills that help children and teens better understand and deal with feelings (both their own and others’), have positive social relationships, and make better decisions. And perhaps not surprisingly, these skills are highly correlated with improved academic performance as well as overall success and happiness.

For children with ADHD, and the core traits of inattention and impulsivity, SEL skills can be difficult to master and use consistently. This webinar will provide strategies to help children learn and use these skills at home and in peer settings.

In this webinar, caregivers and educators will learn:

  • The main principles of SEL, including how it teaches self-awareness, self-control, empathy, social skills, and problem-solving.
  • Why teaching SEL matters for kids with ADHD and learning differences.
  • Implementation strategies such as modeling, direct instruction, and prompting use of SEL.
  • Activities to promote SEL development in school and at home.
