Programs Details
Executive Functioning skills (EFs) are a set of mental abilities that allow for emotional regulation, problem solving, organization, achieving goals, etc. It is common for people who have LDs to also have a deficit in their EFs; treating executive dysfunction may help reduce anxiety in youth with ADHD.
Elevate ran for six weeks on Wednesday evenings March 25th – April 29th for youth in our community ages 10-13, and for one week during the summer. This is an in-person, small group for youth facilitated by staff to make a safe and supportive environment while delivering lessons on the following topics: time management, task initiation, long-range planning, prioritizing, organization, decision-making, sustained attention, emotional control, response inhibition, self-discipline, and flexibility.
The program fee during the school year was $135. Travel costs for those attending from rural Chatham-Kent communities were reimbursed at the end of the program up to the total cost of enrollment. Workbook and all materials were provided to students.
We work with the A.L.L. for Kids program which may help cover fees for this program. Visit www.chatham-kent.ca/allforkids for more information.
