Setting Structure for Study for Teens & College Students – 2018

To teens and college students, the word “structure” makes them feel boxed in or trapped. They equate structure with rules dictated by their parents or teachers, without regard to their individual needs and preferences. As adults, we know that setting up structures to get things done is beneficial for us, as well as for our teens — but how do we convey that? During this session, Jodi Sleeper-Triplett shares strategies for guiding your teen through the process of setting up a structure for studying that is comfortable and flexible, while supporting their ADHD, executive functioning and learning challenges.
