Executive Functioning Facilitated Discussion Group

Executive Function Facilitated Discussion Group

Kicks Off on Wed, Apr 15, 7-8pm PT

Meets: Apr 15, 22, 27, May 6, 2026

Only 8 spots

Are you looking for an expert-led small group that fosters supportive conversations and provides personalized practical strategies that truly matter to you and your family? Whether you are new to a 2e diagnosis or continually wrestling with the complexities, this is the group for you.

Executive Functioning Strategies for Twice-Exceptional (2e) Learners

Does your child struggle with organization, time management, or task initiation despite their high abilities? Executive functioning challenges can impact learning, social interactions, and daily routines, making school and home life more difficult for twice-exceptional (2e) learners. In this session, we’ll explore the unique executive functioning profiles of 2e students and discuss practical strategies to support their growth. Topics will include building routines, managing distractions, fostering independence, and leveraging strengths to overcome challenges. Join other parents in a supportive environment to share experiences, ask questions, and gain tools to help your child thrive.

What You’ll Gain:

• Expert Guidance: Our leader’s extensive background and innovative work reflect her deep commitment to creating inclusive and neurodivergent positive environments.

• Insightful Discussions: Understand twice-exceptionality (2e) and how it shapes learning, social, and emotional development. Explore why 2e children’s needs often go unnoticed or misunderstood and how to change this.

• Personalized Practical Tools: Learn strategies to address educational and parenting challenges, foster curiosity, and build supportive communities. Gain advocacy tools and strength-based approaches to leverage your child’s abilities and interests.

• Intimate Community: Connect with other parents facing similar challenges. Build lasting connections and share resources with parents who "get it."

Program At-a-Glance​

• Group Size: Limited to 8 participants for a close-knit, supportive environment.

• Duration: Meets once a week for 1 hour over 4 weeks.

• Location: Sessions will take place on Zoom.

• Privacy: Meetings will not be recorded to encourage open and personal discussions. Resources will be emailed after each session.

• Facilitator: Led by Teresa Nair, M.Ed., REEL’s Parent Community and Services Program Manager.

• Cost: $280 for the full series (four one-hour sessions over four weeks).

​​

What You’ll Learn:

We’ll begin by exploring the foundations of executive functioning in 2e learners, and how these skills appear in children with asynchronous development and emotionally rich inner lives.

We’ll look at how EF challenges present across neurotypes such as ADHD, autism, and dyslexia,  and how your child’s unique combination of strengths and struggles may be masking or magnifying their EF needs.

From there, we’ll shift into strengths-based strategies you can apply in daily life, including:

• Building flexible, sustainable routines

• Using your child’s passions to support attention and memory

• Managing transitions, overwhelm, and meltdowns

• Scaffolding independence with tools like visual schedules and memory supports

Finally, we’ll focus on fostering ownership and long-term growth - learning how to gradually fade support, coach your child in self-advocacy, and nurture lifelong EF skills rooted in their neurodivergent strengths.

What To Expect:

In these four sessions (meeting once a week for four weeks), we’ll examine the complexity of raising 2e children - those with incredible strengths and real EF struggles. We’ll use interactive activities, research-backed strategies, and group discussions to better understand and support your child’s journey.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn directly from an expert in 2e education while building a trusted network of fellow parents who get it.

Why Join Us?

This program offers more than just resources; it creates a welcoming space for meaningful discussions with a small group of supportive parents and a skilled facilitator who understands the unique challenges and joys of raising a 2e child. In this focused, inclusive environment, you’ll gain practical strategies and connect with a community that truly understands your journey, helping you navigate the complexities of raising a 2e child in today’s world.
