SUMMARY:Skills Group: Executive Functioning (EF)
DESCRIPTION:Registration for our January-February Skills Groups is now closed.  \nWe offer Skills Groups every quarter. We open applications for each group approximately 4 weeks in advance of the start dates. When the application window opens\, you can find a live link on this page as well as on our Event Calendar\, which you can access by clicking HERE. When you click the live link\, you will be directed to an application form to complete. Once your form is submitted\, a staff member will follow up with you. If there is not a link\, we are not currently accepting applications. \n\nSkills Groups are skill development workshops that are facilitated by two Sinneave staff members (one is an autistic self-advocate). In each 90-minute workshop\, participants learn a variety of strategies that are foundational to success in various aspects of daily life. They are then given opportunities to practice the strategies with the support of the facilitators and other group members. \nSkills Group sessions happen once a week for six consecutive weeks. The next Executive Functioning group begins Wednesday\, January 31 and runs through March 6\, 2024. \nDo you: \n\nStruggle with unexpected changes?\nHave trouble getting started\, or maybe have trouble stopping things you like to do when it’s time to do something you don’t like to do?\nHave you ever avoided an experience or a person because of your anxiety?\nHow about when you have a great idea\, but have trouble creating and acting on a plan to get it done.\n\nIf so\, learning more about Executive Functioning (EF) may be for you. Research has shown us that the skills underlying Executive Functioning can be taught\, practiced and improved on. When EF Skills are working\, we tend to be happier and more productive. \nWe are excited to invite self-advocates and individuals who identify as autistic to attend this six part workshop on Executive Functioning (EF). We will discuss and practice skills including: Cognitive Flexibility\, Getting Started\, Staying Present\, Bringing your Anxiety along for the Ride\, and Organization/Planning. \nParticipants will learn about the importance of EF and how to improve EF skills through specific practice within a safe and supportive environment. \nPlease note: Skills Groups are closed groups with a limited number of participants to allow for the greatest participation. They are filled by application only. These are not drop-in sessions. \nTo learn more about Skills Groups\, visit our website\, by clicking HERE.

SUMMARY:Skills Group: Executive Functioning (EF)
DESCRIPTION:Registration for our January-February Skills Groups is now closed.  \nWe offer Skills Groups every quarter. We open applications for each group approximately 4 weeks in advance of the start dates. When the application window opens\, you can find a live link on this page as well as on our Event Calendar\, which you can access by clicking HERE. When you click the live link\, you will be directed to an application form to complete. Once your form is submitted\, a staff member will follow up with you. If there is not a link\, we are not currently accepting applications. \n\nSkills Groups are skill development workshops that are facilitated by two Sinneave staff members (one is an autistic self-advocate). In each 90-minute workshop\, participants learn a variety of strategies that are foundational to success in various aspects of daily life. They are then given opportunities to practice the strategies with the support of the facilitators and other group members. \nSkills Group sessions happen once a week for six consecutive weeks. The next Executive Functioning group begins Wednesday\, January 31 and runs through March 6\, 2024. \nDo you: \n\nStruggle with unexpected changes?\nHave trouble getting started\, or maybe have trouble stopping things you like to do when it’s time to do something you don’t like to do?\nHave you ever avoided an experience or a person because of your anxiety?\nHow about when you have a great idea\, but have trouble creating and acting on a plan to get it done.\n\nIf so\, learning more about Executive Functioning (EF) may be for you.

SUMMARY:Skills Group: Executive Functioning (EF)
DESCRIPTION:Registration for our January-February Skills Groups is now closed.  \nWe offer Skills Groups every quarter. We open applications for each group approximately 4 weeks in advance of the start dates. When the application window opens\, you can find a live link on this page as well as on our Event Calendar\, which you can access by clicking HERE. When you click the live link\, you will be directed to an application form to complete. Once your form is submitted\, a staff member will follow up with you. If there is not a link\, we are not currently accepting applications. \n\nSkills Groups are skill development workshops that are facilitated by two Sinneave staff members (one is an autistic self-advocate). In each 90-minute workshop\, participants learn a variety of strategies that are foundational to success in various aspects of daily life. They are then given opportunities to practice the strategies with the support of the facilitators and other group members. \nSkills Group sessions happen once a week for six consecutive weeks. The next Executive Functioning group begins Wednesday\, January 31 and runs through March 6\, 2024. \nDo you: \n\nStruggle with unexpected changes?\nHave trouble getting started\, or maybe have trouble stopping things you like to do when it’s time to do something you don’t like to do?\nHave you ever avoided an experience or a person because of your anxiety?\nHow about when you have a great idea\, but have trouble creating and acting on a plan to get it done.\n\nIf so\, learning more about Executive Functioning (EF) may be for you. Research has shown us that the skills underlying Executive Functioning can be taught\, practiced and improved on. When EF Skills are working\, we tend to be happier and more productive. \nWe are excited to invite self-advocates and individuals who identify as autistic to attend this six part workshop on Executive Functioning (EF). We will discuss and practice skills including: Cognitive Flexibility\, Getting Started\, Staying Present\, Bringing your Anxiety along for the Ride\, and Organization/Planning. \nParticipants will learn about the importance of EF and how to improve EF skills through specific practice within a safe and supportive environment. \nPlease note: Skills Groups are closed groups with a limited number of participants to allow for the greatest participation. They are filled by application only. These are not drop-in sessions. \nTo learn more about Skills Groups\, visit our website\, by clicking HERE.
