West Des Moines Community Schools Community Education

Does your child take forever to get dressed in the morning? Do chores that seem simple to you, stress them out? Sometimes children who are normally high functioning can struggle with organization and planning. Executive functioning develops at different rates and different times in children. It regulates and controls cognitive and social behaviors like paying attention, controlling impulses, planning and organizing time and materials, and responding appropriately to social situations. You will learn strategies and skills to support your child. Course taught by Kristine Milburn, GT coordinator and curriculum lead, and Karen France, teacher leader.
