Executive Function
Executive Function refers to a set of skills that people use every day to balance schedules, reduce stress, and find success. These skills allow students to complete homework or classwork, study for exams, plan ahead and meet project goals, display self-control, follow multiple-step directions even when interrupted, and stay focused despite distractions. Michelle has been working with IEP students in co-taught classrooms for many years, giving her the experience of Special Education teacher. ADHD and dyslexic students benefit from personalized instruction with Michelle through Facetime or Zoom when in person sessions are not an option. To keep students engaged, she uses Google Docs, Screen Sharing, and a Document Camera when necessary. Students can either work on school assignments or extracurricular work, depending upon their needs and interests.
