Being Neurodivergent (Autism, ADHD, DCD/Dyspraixa etc.) can be especially difficult in the teenage years. There is a need to be more organised as they move from primary to secondary school, there are more subjects to focus on, a greater workload, an increase in social pressure and of course the state exams. This can be difficult for neurodivergent teenagers as they can have challenges in the area of executive functioning. Executive skills allow people to organise what they do over time and be able to resist immediate demands in order to achieve longer term goals e.g. resist playing computer games in order to do homework so as to achieve well in exams. Executive skills help people to plan and organise activities, sustain attention and to keep going in order to complete a task. They are also involved in managing emotions and in self-monitoring. This webinar is aimed at teachers, parents, carers and others who work with neurodivergent children and teenagers. The webinar will give an introduction into the teenage brain and the development of executive function and the specific emphasis on neurodivergent teenagers. There will be lots of tips as to how to help teenagers in this area.
