Executive Functioning Group Therapy: Tools to get things done

Executive Functioning Group Therapy is aimed at helping adolescents in Grades 6 to 8 to become more independent in completing tasks. Specifically, this group will address the following skills, but not limited to:

• staying on task
• planning
• following-through
• remaining organized
• adapting to unexpected situations
• managing time
• self-monitoring

Group programming will be based on the underlying framework of the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) Model established by Dr. Ross Greene. Sessions will include role-playing, development of functional strategies for school and home, and activities to enhance cognitive rehabilitation. The first and last group sessions will take place with a caregiver present to to assist participants in applying the content learned in the group to real-world settings beyond the clinic.

This group is facilitated by a Registered Occupational Therapist and will take place in-person at the clinic.

A complimentary pre-group screening is offered to determine group appropriateness.
