Executive Function Strategies for a Strong School Year
Starting a new school year is one of the biggest transition points for students: new schedules, new teachers, new expectations, and (often) old habits that no longer fit.
This webinar, hosted by Just Start LA, will walk parents through practical, non-clinical executive function (EF) strategies to build routines and systems that actually stick. Rooted in Just Start LA's "It's Easy. Just Start." philosophy, the session focuses on progress over perfection, giving families simple, actionable tools they can implement in the first weeks of school - before small gaps turn into big stressors.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Identify the executive function skills most impacted by the back-to-school transition (e.g., time management, planning, organization, task initiation).
2. Recognize early warning signs that a student is struggling with EF demands before they escalate into academic or emotional stress.
3. Build a simple, sustainable homework and study routine tailored to their students' age and needs.
4. Apply practical organization systems (binders, planners, digital tools) to manage multiple classes, assignments, and deadlines.
5. Use Just Start LA's capability-focused language to talk with their students about challenges in a way that builds confidence rather than shame.
6. Determine when additional support (like EF coaching or tutoring) may be helpful, and what that support can look like.
