Organizing Strategies to Prepare for Homework and the Real World
- An Interdisciplinary Treatment Approach
Presented by:
Michelle Garcia Winner, MA CCC-SLP, Co-Director, Teach SOCIAL, Silicon Valley, California.
The vast majority of students with social cognitive deficits have immense difficulty developing organizational skills to manage the increasingly complex expectation of life in upper elementary, middle, high school and into their adult years. Organizational skills are a set of executive functioning skills that can be overwhelming tasks for even our most intellectually sharp students with social cognitive deficits. This workshop will explore two different types of organizational skills: static and dynamic. We will break apart the concept of dynamic organizational skills into 10 concrete steps, which are vital towards the completion of what is considered a “homework assignment.” An educational strategy will be reviewed to accompany each step of the process.
