Many children continue to experience anxiety about new situations or avoid challenging tasks, despite going to therapy and talking through their feelings.
This is often because the intervention is not adequately supporting students’ executive functioning skills.
In this video, I explain why anxiety and executive dysfunction go hand-in-hand, and what’s often missing when anxiety persists despite going to therapy.
This video clip is taken from my free online training:
How to be neurodiversity-affirming and evidence based (by supporting executive functioning).
In this free training I reveal:
- Why kids continue to experience anxiety or behavioral challenges, even though they’re going to therapy or have a behavior plan.
- Common mistakes multidisciplinary teams make when teaching executive functioning (and why lists, planners, and behavior charts aren’t working).
- Why kids continue to struggle with problem-solving, and friendships, even though they’re going to therapy and social skills groups.
