SUMMARY:The Science Behind Executive Functions
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores how executive functions—the brain’s 
 “coaching staff”—help students plan\, focus\, and follow through on 
 tasks. \n\nUsing real-life case studies\, we look at how challenges in 
 executive functioning often reflect difficulties in performance\, not 
 intelligence or motivation. This session highlights how stress impacts 
 these skills and how creating a shared\, supportive language can make a big 
 difference. Staff and faculty members will walk away with practical tools 
 and strategies to help students build independence and confidence in 
 managing their learning. \n\n\n\nOrganized by Fairfield Wellness & the 
 DiMenna-Nyselius Library. Presented by Sasco River Center\, a 
 multidisciplinary practice that has served more than 8\,000 children\, 
 adolescents and young adults across Fairfield County (and statewide via 
 telehealth). Our team brings together licensed psychologists\, therapists\, 
 coaches.
