OVERVIEW
FURTHER INFORMATION
In this interactive, informative and cartoon-laced presentation,
parents, teachers and other professionals will gain a better
understanding of the special role of stress in the lives of children
and adolescents with learning, attentional or emotional challenges.
Based on material from his book, Nowhere to Hide: Why Kids
with ADHD and LD Hate School and What We Can Do About It,
this noted neuropsychologist sheds light the brain/stress/learning
connection, and explains why executive functions take a back seat
to survival behavior in kids who are threatened by the challenges
of school. Learn why students, including those with Asperger
syndrome, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of stress. This
presentation, based on the latest brain research and supplemented
by Dr. Schultz’s many years of work as a teacher and clinician, will
give us the tools to understand and manage behaviors that get kids
in trouble and that get in the way of learning.
