Virtual. Enhance Your Child's Journey Toward Independence: This presentation is designed to empower parents with the knowledge and skills needed to guide their neurodivergent adolescents towards greater independence through executive function and self-advocacy skills. Learn how to effectively communicate with your child, identifying and building upon their strengths and motivating them through understanding and encouragement. Discover strategies for engaging with your child's existing support networks, including their educational environment and healthcare providers, to foster a collaborative approach to managing their learning differences, ADHD, and more. Our speakers will share insights on navigating difficult conversations, creating daily routines that support executive functioning, and methods for families to self-monitor progress. This session is not just for parents; students are encouraged to attend, fostering a shared understanding and cooperative effort in navigating the path to independence.
