Thursday, February 26 

Start Time - 9:00am 

"Executive Functioning for Neurodivergent Adults"

Support professionals, advocates and workplace managers can support neurodivergent adults strengthen executive functioning (EF) skills - the skills used to plan, start, organize, shift, and complete tasks, especially when demands rise or plans change. 

Our professional speakers, Mrs. Danielle Moore; M.A.Ed., CCC-SLP and Dr. Angelica Gunn-Phipps CCC-SLP-D will provide have years of experience in working with adults including improving college, career work, social and workplace relationships, and independent living, which can drastically improve confidence and day-to-day stability.

EF support is most effective when it’s individualized by building systems for planning and prioritizing. Common tools include routines and checklists, calendars and reminders, backward planning from deadlines, note-taking or visual cues, environmental setup, accountability structures, “if-then” coping plans, and strategies for self-advocacy and accommodations. 

Individuals with EF challenges may also require support in areas such as social communication, which can include reading context, navigating workplace or college expectations, managing conflict, and planning conversations.

WHAT GANCC MEMBERS WILL LEARN:

Neurodivergent adults & advocates will gain new strategies to navigate executive functioning challenges, clarify support needs, and secure effective accommodations.

Support professionals will gain a deeper executive functioning framework - plus practical examples of neurodiversity-affirming language they can use right away.

Georgia businesses will learn how to identify and implement neurodiversity-affirming workplace practices through an executive functioning lens so supports are applied consistently to improve performance and strengthen retention.

This event is for ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS ! 

A Light Breakfast with Coffee and Tea will be provided by Rise Coffee as well as time to network afterwards.
