In this presentation, 2e expert, Julie Skolnick, M.A., J.D., will address the what, why and how of Executive Functioning, utilizing strength based strategies for the classroom and home. Without understanding Executive Functioning skills and the effect on gifted/2e children, it is nearly impossible to adequately and effectively teach these skills. The What, Why and How of Executive Functioning for Gifted and 2e StudentsĮxecutive Functions are commonly thought of as a skill set needed to ‘get things done.’ In fact, Executive Functions are the overarching skill set that allow a person to not only initiate and complete tasks (execute), but also directly affect a person’s ability to regulate mood and behavior. This workshop will explore college planning tips and potential pitfalls, with the goal of successfully easing the transition for your gifted or twice-exceptional child. It is essential to actively support and guide your child in their choices throughout high school and through the college application process. Yet, many families are overwhelmed with the planning process and often regret having relied solely on overworked guidance counselors to shepherd their child along this journey. Through stories about intense gifted kids and examples of ways to help them, Emily shares ideas to help our kids who are "a little bit extra" find healthy ways to manage their emotions.Ĭollege planning tips for families of gifted and twice-exceptional children: Start early plan wiselyįinding a college that provides the best academic and social/emotional "fit" is especially critical for gifted and twice-exceptional students.
