How do executive function skills influence motivation and what can families, educators, and professionals do to help neurodivergent young adults build both?

Through direct instruction, real-world case studies, and conversational discussion, Jodi and Ryan will discuss practical strategies for understanding and addressing executive function challenges for adolescents and young adults with autism, ADHD, and other learning differences.
