More about Presentation Topic: 

When students struggle with executive functioning, time management, organization, and planning these are skills that don’t occur naturally; they’re learned. Without these skills, students are more likely to have missing assignments, turn work in late, and procrastinate on long term papers and projects; they might seem unmotivated and constantly frustrated about school.

Students with ADHD are often victims of misconception with people perceiving their lack of focus as laziness or disinterest. Teaching the executive function skills these students lack helps them to succeed not just academically but in all areas of their lives. Through repetition, routine, self-advocacy, and staying active, students with ADHD can thrive, even in an education system not built with them in mind.

More about Brandon:

Brandon Slade taught special education for 12 years before he founded Stride Learning (previously Mentoring Through Movement) in 2015. He filled a gap that he experienced as a student with ADHD: movement-based learning and a community to hold students accountable while coming from a place of relatability. Based on this personal experience, he created an environment and teaching model to help students with executive challenges succeed in school. Since 2015, Stride Learning has been dedicated to assisting students who struggle with executive functioning in the classroom.
