Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Hey everyone it's Susan Coffin I'm here for Attitude magazine and this is our weekly

ADHD experts webinar executive function is deficits are so intertwined with ADHD

that many people just consider them more than the same thing

but it turns out that that's not exactly the case and in fact executive function skills such as time

project management planning can be learned.

We are so fortunate today to welcome speakers Sarah Ward

and Kristen Jacobson.

They are the co-directors of Cognitive Connections, a Learning Center in Lincoln, Massachusetts.

They will be talking and helping all of us learn strategies for specifically for helping teens and tweens

with problems such as for getting procrastinating until the last minute

struggling to plan and execute long-term projects.

background and they both have decades of experience assessing and treating

executive function deficits in children and adults both. They're the recipients of many awards, I'm not even going to list them all, for their
