A collaborative workshop offered virtually by the Autism Societies of Greater Wisconsin and Minnesota
Virtual Workshop | December 5, 2024 | 9AM – 12PM
About the Workshop
This workshop will give you foundational skills to build self-regulation that will improve your executive function. We’ll delve into innovative concepts like spiral time, providing a fresh perspective on time management and organization. You will learn practical, actionable strategies to support and strengthen executive function skills, tailored specifically for autistic individuals.
The content is designed with neurodivergent brains in mind, offering approaches and strategies that respect and work with your natural tendencies rather than against them. Whether you’re looking to boost your own executive function or support someone else, this workshop offers tools that can be implemented right away, empowering you to navigate your own life and your own needs with the approaches that work for you.
