Help for Disorganized/Distracted Students:

This session is designed to share ideas on how to help distractible,
disorganized students start tasks in a more timely manner, persist till
they complete tasks, and maintain their focus when working.  This
presentation is for parents of bright or gifted children who sometimes
have trouble completing assigned tasks.  For some students, managing
these executive functions appropriately and effectively can be the
difference between success and ongoing frustration.  At this
presentation you will learn research supported techniques and have the
opportunity to share in the discussion with other parents about what
works, and does not work, for them.  This session will be designed to be
interactive and allow ample time for parent questions and discussions.

This session is free but registration is required by calling Sandra
Gizzi at 263-1461.
