In-Person Session - Edina
This session will introduce attention as a key component of executive functioning and explore how challenges with focus, distraction, and multitasking affect student learning and behavior. Participants will review the Attention Hierarchy and learn to recognize common signs of difficulty with sustained, selective, alternating, and divided attention. Practical demonstrations will include accessible tools such as timers, visual supports, Chrome extensions, iOS features, and simple environmental adjustments. Through guided case examples, attendees will practice matching attention needs to appropriate supports and identifying basic performance indicators. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of attention challenges and practical strategies to begin supporting focus and independence across settings.
