SMART BUT SCATTERED: Helping Students Cope with Executive Function Challenges

Featured Speaker: Dr. Alison P. Block, PhD

Tuesday, October 6 at 6:30 pm

Raritan High School: South Lecture Hall

Do any of these describe your child?

• Disorganized desk, backpack and locker?

• Loses things often?

• Forgets to finish or turn in assignments?

• Has difficulty starting and sustaining effort for homework?

• Has difficulty planning ahead and managing time?

• Seems to space out when given complex instructions?

Executive function includes the essential mental tasks of planning, strategizing, organizing,
goal setting, and paying attention to the important details that help us get things done.
Poor executive function can impact a student academically, socially, and emotionally.
Join us to learn how we can help students overcome their executive function challenges.

Dr. Block is a licensed psychologist and the Director of the Health Psychology Center in Little Silver.
In addition to her Little Silver practice, she is also the psychologist for the Department of Medicine at Monmouth Medical Center and a clinical instructor in Medicine at Drexel University.
