About this Workshop

Join Peace At Home expert Hilary Ben-Ami, M.S., for an interactive workshop that will help you understand the root causes of disorganization, especially when executive function skills are involved. You will learn what executive functioning really means, how it affects elementary and middle school students with or without ADHD, and why anxiety or depression can make it even harder to stay on track. Walk away with practical, compassionate strategies you can use right away. You’ll learn ways to reduce power struggles and apply real support that helps your child gain confidence and control over their responsibilities.

MIT is committed to providing an environment that is accessible and inclusive for individuals with disabilities. If you need a disability-related accommodation for this event, please email worklife@mit.edu.
