Get Sorted
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.
This fantastic course was developed by Kidz Therapy therapists after identifying that many children struggle with their self-organisational and executive functioning skills. Feedback we've received from schools and parents too.
How Get Sorted can help your child
As children mature, progress through school, and take on more responsibilities, the skills they need to manage and organise themselves increase in complexity. Let us help your child:
- Understand why self-organisation really matters
- Learn to plan and prioritise
- Learn how to keep track of their belongings and look after other’s belongings
- Access their bags and desks with more ease because they have a system in place
- Learn how to schedule: e.g., reminders, to-do lists, and knowing how to mark special events
- Manage their time and energy across a week
- Use tools to help them focus and pay attention
- Tackle exam study and planning of school assignments
- Learn how to file on their devices so they can find the right documents when they need to
- Learn strategies to help change path when things don’t go as planned
Prior to the course, all children and their parents / caregivers will have the opportunity to complete a Comprehensive Executive Functioning Inventory (CEFI) form. These forms are evidence based tools used by psychologists and educators to assess children with executive functioning issues. The results generated from these forms will ensure we provide targeted interventions specific to the groups needs.
