Tomorrow! Link in bio Being the Executive of Func Tomorrow! Link in bio Being the Executive of Functioning Executive Functioning (EF) ability covers many skills. People who experience executive dysfunction often have more trouble with attention, working memory, mental processing, and verbal fluency. These are all called executive-function abilities that are important at school, uni, the workplace and home life. You may have executive dysfunction if you experience difficulty with: • Managing time • Getting and staying organized • Listening and paying attention • Following directions • Completing assignments/tasks • Attending to details • Getting to work on time • Speaking just when it’s your turn • Sitting still • Keeping emotions under control • Procrastination This webinar will explore the challenges experienced, investigate why the brain behaves the way it does and discuss strategies and tools that will become part of your EF toolkit, enabling you to be the executive of functioning. #executivefunctioning #executivedysfunction #autistic #education #autism #adhd #dyslexia #dyspraxia #tools #strategies #supports #NDIS #developmentaleducator #consultant #advocate #webinar #employment #neurodiversity

Webinar Next Week! Link in bio Self-Care – Putt Webinar Next Week! Link in bio Self-Care – Putting You First Self-care is critical in maintaining good mental health and physical wellbeing, but is also one of the hardest things to implement into our daily lives. Neurodivergent people often experience higher rates of anxiety and depression, along with high levels of stress and burnout. By the time they hit their 30s and 40s, many neurodivergent people are exhausted, struggling to stay employed, have broken relationships and friendships, along with the emergence of associated chronic disease and health problems. #neuroemploy #selfcare #neurodivergent #autism #adhd #dyslexia #dyspraxia #autistic #burnout #depression #anxiety #employment #stress #wellbeing #mentalhealth #masking #strategies #neurodiversity #relationships #chronicdisease https://neuroemploy.com/product/webinar-self-care-putting-you-first-with-barb-cook-29th-january-2020/

On completion of this webinar, a certificate will be provided with three (3) hours personal development. About the webinar… Relationships come in many forms. These can be friendships, romantic and intimate or these relationships can be part of our everyday lives when we are at work with bosses and colleagues or in an educational setting at school or uni. A commonality of these relationships is there usually is more than one person involved and requires navigation of the hidden expectations and dynamics of interaction and connection with other people. In this webinar, Barb and Yenn will explore the various types of relationships, what the expectations are, and how neurodiverse people can express their needs and understanding of how they experience connecting with other people. Some of the topics covered are the dynamics of friendships, romantic encounters and expectations in intimate relationships, redefining what a healthy relationship is, safety, bullying, harassment and understanding the unique needs for satisfying companionship. Barb and Yenn will explore workplace and educational relationships and how to self-advocate in having needs met, to feel supported in an inclusive environment and to gain insight into how to work towards meaningful relationships with others. #relationships #autism #autistic #spectrumwomen #webinar @yennpurkis
