What you’ll learn

Workshop 1: Get supports written into an IEP or 504

How parents can request a comprehensive executive-function assessment using multiple tools instead of relying only on screeners or behavior rating scales.
How IDEA and Section 504 can support requests to assess all suspected areas of disability and create measurable goals tied to identified needs.
Practical advocacy strategies, including asking clear questions in meetings, participating meaningfully, documenting agreements, and requesting appropriate parent and staff training.

Workshop 2: 5 strategies to support EF in the classroom

Five classroom strategies that strengthen organization, attention, and self-regulation: visual timers, color-coding, checklists, movement breaks, and smaller task steps.
How to use executive-function supports within 504 plans and IEPs, distinguish accommodations from goals, and respond when agreed supports are not implemented.
Why educators should individualize support, document decisions, consider home factors, collaborate with families, and celebrate small gains.
