How to strengthen children's executive functions
Rachel Epstein Ramirez
Rachel wants to reduce the stigma around ADHD. She says that students with learning differences simply require different teaching approaches. She advocates for recognising these students’ unique learning styles, and tailoring support to make a significant difference. Rachel recommends two resources – Understood and the Child Mind Institute – that offer valuable strategies and insights for educators and parents working to strengthen children’s executive functions.

“I feel like as learning specialists or as special education teachers, it’s our job to decrease that stigma around learning differences in ADHD… They just learn differently or need different teaching approaches, and that’s why we’re here to help.”
