- In this session, participants will explore two practical tools from Landmark College’s course, Academic Strategies and Executive Function Supports for Students with LD, ADHD, and Autism, which Nakita completed in Spring 2024. The first tool, “Supporting Executive Functions in the Classroom,” covers six core areas of executive function, along with targeted supports, strategies, and classroom recommendations. The second tool, “Universal Design Techniques for the Classroom with Students with Learning Disabilities,” introduces eight techniques that align with these six executive function areas. The session will conclude with real-world applications of these tools, featuring highlights from Nakita’s course project.
