Get Sorted
(9-16 year olds)
Self-organisational and Executive Functioning skills for home and school.
Is your child always losing their belongings? Does your child struggle to meet assignment deadlines?
They could be struggling with their Executive Functioning skills.
Executive Functioning skills allow your child to plan, focus attention, remember and juggle multiple tasks. They are vital for maintaining relationships, hobbies, studying and general day to day life.
As children mature, progress through school, and take on more responsibilities, the skills they need to manage and organise themselves increase in complexity.
This fantastic course was developed by Kidz Therapy therapists after identifying that many children struggle with their self-organisational and Executive Functioning skills. This is also common feedback we receive from schools and parents.
This course is facilitated by Helen Coll, an Occupational Therapist at Kidz Therapy. Helen draws on her clinical experience and extensive knowledge of practical and evidence-based strategies.
