This upcoming workshop is appropriate for parents of upper elementary 
and high school students, as well as middle schoolers. Ms Ward presents 
widely in the Boston area, and is well known for her expertise in 
executive functioning issues.

*Center for Parents and Teachers Parenting Program: Organizing the 
Middle School Student *with Sarah Ward, M.S., CCC/SLP, Thurs, Oct 29, 
9:15 to 11 AM, Peabody Forum. No fee. No Registration required.

One of the biggest challenges that confronts students as they transition 
to middle school is the significant increase in the demands for the 
independent organization of time, materials and information. The skills 
required for meeting these demands, including planning, sequencing and 
operationalizing instructions, fall under the rubric of "executive 
functioning”. Students with a range of different learning styles often 
struggle with executive functioning and their problems in this area 
become increasingly apparent in the context of the demands of middle 
school. In an engaging, informative and practical presentation, 
strategies will be discussed that parents can use in supporting their 
children to develop more effective organizational skills. /Sponsored by
