Led by Guest Speaker Katey Treloar, Founder and Coach at Executive Function Coaching
Join us for a practical and engaging workshop focused on executive function (EF) skills—the mental processes that support focus, organization, time management, and self-regulation. These skills are essential for success in school and life, yet many students—especially those with dyslexia—struggle in these areas.
Designed for K–12 educators, caregivers, and any adults supporting students, this session offers age-appropriate strategies for younger learners and practical tools for older students, including study skills and goal setting. You'll also learn how to strengthen home-school collaboration and support meaningful, lasting growth in students.This free workshop is open to anyone interested in executive function, not just those impacted by dyslexia.
Attendees will leave with clear, ready-to-use strategies for both classroom and home support.
Speakers: Katey Treloar, Founder and Coach of Executive Function Coaching
Audience: Adults supporting K-12 students
Date/Time: 4-5:30pm
Location: TBD
Registration is not required, free to attend.

While there may be occasions when all groups get together, the majority of our gatherings will remain distinct and separate.
