Peace At Home Parenting Expert Andrea Brinnel Andrea Brinnel,Ed.D.

Challenges & Solutions

Are you concerned about your child’s progress in school but afraid to have your child “labeled”? Are you new to the process and feel confused about how special education works? Is your child already receiving special education services, but you’re still feeling confused? 

You are not alone. The world of Special Education is important to our children, but can be quite mysterious to parents.

This class will help you understand the laws behind your child’s rights. You will learn about what to expect from two different kinds of services for children with disabilities: 504 Plans and Individual Education Programs (IEPs).The difference between the two is confusing to many parents. It’s important, however, to recognize the difference so you can be an effective part of your child’s planning team and so you can evaluate whether your school is effectively meeting your child’s needs.

Executive Function Challenges in Teens: How it Impacts Academics and How You Can Help (2025)

February 28, 2024 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Experts

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Susan Schaefer Susan Schaefer,M.Ed., M.A.T. Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

  • Does your teen have trouble keeping track of school work? 
  • Do they have a hard time staying organized, doing homework or managing their time
  • Maybe they forget to write down assignments, don’t submit their work or even have trouble following directions? 

When kids have trouble keeping track of their stuff and keeping up with schoolwork we want to help. But nagging, reminding, coaxing and punishing, you’ve probably already discovered, really don’t help and can cause harm to an already struggling teen. Your child may have issues related to executive function skills. 

Executive Function (EF) is a term we hear so often, but what exactly does it mean? This workshop will walk you through what executive function skills are and how they may be impacting your teen. We will also discuss how executive functions and ADHD as well as depression, anxiety and other challenges work hand-in-hand. We will offer evidence-informed strategies your teen can start implementing right away to improve academic performance.
