Join The Nectar Group for this free webinar as we explore the often-overlooked cognitive barriers that commonly accompany ASD.
High-functioning autism (ASD) often comes with remarkable strengths, but also with hidden struggles that impact daily life. While autism itself is not something to “treat away,” many children on the spectrum face co-occurring cognitive challenges—such as processing speed, working memory, attention, and executive functioning—that directly affect both learning and behavior. These difficulties can lead to frustration with schoolwork as well as challenges with emotional regulation, organization, and social interactions. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to recognize these cognitive barriers and discover research-based interventions that strengthen underlying skills. By addressing the cognitive roots, children with ASD can experience meaningful improvements in both academic performance and everyday behavior, opening doors to greater confidence and independence.
Participants will learn:
~ The most frequent cognitive challenges that co-occur with ASD
~ How cognitive barriers contribute to both learning difficulties and behavioral struggles
~ Research-based interventions that strengthen cognitive skills and support overall growth
