CFK Lakewood: Family Discussion Group - Executive Function 101: Adult Registration

Does your child struggle to keep emotions in check? Can he or she be flexible when changes occur? Does your child procrastinate in starting a project or have trouble keeping on task? Jennifer Negrey, MOT, OTR/L, BCP, CLT, pediatric occupational therapist at Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital for Rehabilitation; and Danielle R. Petrozelle, MS OTR/L, pediatric occupational therapist at Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital for Rehabilitation and Cleveland Clinic Center for Autism; will help families gain an understanding of typical executive function skills at the preschool through preteen levels. Families will learn strategies to help their child gain better emotional control and flexibility. They will also discuss ways to help a child with task initiation, planning, organization and time management as well as strategies to increase working memory and sustained attention to tasks.

This Family Discussion Group is held in partnership with Lakewood City School District and supported by a generous grant from Community West Foundation.
