Strategies for Executive Functioning Skills in Kids
Impulsivity, Attention, Completing Tasks & More
Join Alisha Grogan MOT, OTR/L for this brand new 2 hour workshop to decode the mystery of executive functioning and learn practical ways to improve these skills!
Kids with executive functioning difficulties often struggle with:
Are executive functioning struggles related to sensory issues?
While the whole brain is connected, sensory processing and executive functioning are different parts of it. HOWEVER, there is a common link between the two. Frequently, kids that have sensory processing difficulties ALSO have executive functioning difficulties.
And, executive functioning skills rapidly decline when a child is dysregulated. So when your child is regulated you can work to increase these skills in an intentional way, which is what you’ll learn how to do in this new and powerful workshop!
What you’ll learn in this workshop
I am packing exactly what YOU need to know as a busy parent or professional to improve:
- Attention
- Task Initiation
- Planning skills
- Organization
- Memory
- Self-Awareness
- Time Management
- Self-control
There is no fluff. You will walk away not only with a more thorough understanding of the critical function of executive functioning, but specific strategies you can start using immediately to improve the skills this brain boss is in charge of!

Use this screening tool as a checklist to see which executive functioning skills your child needs to address the most. It will be sold separately in the future and is valued at $30.
Will you be there?
The truth is there are very FEW resources that adequately teach how to help kids with these skills beyond giving them a worksheet*. This is the first time, and maybe last time I ever give this workshop, will you be there?
*Worksheets have a place, but aren’t evidence-based strategies for making significant gains in executive functioning skill development.

Hi, I’ll be your teacher.
My name is Alisha Grogan, I’m a passionate pediatric OT that wants to empower parents and therapists to help their kids with evidence-based strategies for challenges that seem the most elusive, like executive functioning! As a Mama of 3 myself, I also get what it’s like to live with challenges like poor attention and impulsivity day in and day out. I know how days go by in a blur, and that’s why my teaching focuses on do-able but effective strategies you can incorporate into everyday life, which is how occupational therapy is meant to be done.
You may know me from my blog and website, YourKidsTable.com, but I’m also a teacher to thousands of therapists and parents around the world in my RISE with Sensory and Mealtime Works courses.
What’s the Executive Functioning Toolkit?
The toolkit is designed to make implementing the strategies from the workshop easy-peasy. It includes 7 helpful printables:
- An executive functioning poster
- 8 cheat sheet strategy cards for specific skills
- List of daily-life executive functioning activities
- Executive functioning challenge tracker
- Positive Self-Talk Affirmation cards
- Sample checklists and templates
- Self-control scenario cards
All for just $13 when you bundle it with the workshop!

What if my child has Autism, ADHD, or another diagnosis? What if they don’t? Will this program help them?
Many children need help developing executive functioning skills that don’t have or need any diagnosis. If that’s the case, then the Brain Boss workshop is a great fit because it will teach you strategies to address those challenges. Many kids with Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, and numerous other diagnoses almost certainly have executive functioning difficulties. Often these difficulties are overlooked because they’re attributed to the diagnosis, but addressing them will have an enormous impact on their development.
Do I need to buy any expensive tools or toys?
Nope, most everything you do to help improve executive functioning skills is done around your daily routines and specific prompts. You don’t have to get anything extra, although our Executive Functioning Toolkit is an optional add-on for $13 that gives you a screening tools and helpful printables to implement the strategies you’ll learn in the workshop.
