What if the struggle isn’t motivation—but executive functioning? In this practical session, occupational therapist and homeschool mom
Sarah Collins will help families better understand the ADHD brain and how it impacts daily homeschool life. We’ll discuss executive functioning
skills like task initiation, working memory, emotional regulation, and flexibility, while exploring real-life accommodations that support learning
without shame. Parents will walk away with practical strategies to help children get started, stay engaged, and work with their brains instead
of against them. Topics will also include the NICE framework for motivation and a balanced discussion on cognitive training and skill development.  
Because every child is different, every homeschool context is different, and every family’s desired occupations are different, there will also be
plenty of time for questions and practical discussion tailored to real homeschool life.
