"Tell Your Brain Who's Boss!"

Executive Functioning Workshop for Learning and Life

Academic challenges often have nothing to do with intellect. Lacking an internal sense of time, struggling to stay organized, missing deadlines, chronically late, unable to meet goals, unmotivated for school work, difficulty following directions, not taking ownership for learning, avoidance behaviors - these are characteristics a student might show if they have executive functioning difficulties.

Who is this for?

• Students ages 10 and up
• Students who are bright and want to do well, but need some tools and information so they can take ownership of their learning and show their intelligence
• Students interested in learning about metacognition and the connection between the brain and learning
• Learners who benefit from visual support for time management, planning projects, filling out planners, and processing directions

READ Parent

"We have found the team at READ Learning to be professional, knowledgable, and caring. They often go the extra mile to provide resources and answer questions. Their online education for students is one on one and absolutely excellent, which makes READ an option even for those who don't live close to Appleton. We tried different interventions for our daughter with dyslexia before finding READ Learning with very little positive results. She was at a major road block in spelling, reading, and writing. After using READ Learning, we've seen steady progress and are so delighted that our daughter even enjoys her READ sessions. She is excited to see her own progress and is much more confident and motivated in all her school work. We're thankful for the READ Learning team and love telling anyone about them that might benefit from their services."
