Classes meet on Thursdays, 4-5:30, from September 10 - October 29.

This program uses movement to help students with "organizational training, teaching children time management, planning skills, and ways to keep school materials organized in order to optimize student learning and reduce distractions. This management strategy has been tested with children and adolescents" (Centers for Disease Control). Cindy Goldrich (Ed.M., ADHD-CCSP) recommends movement for these students: "Activity can help stimulate the networks of the brain that control attention, increasing the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the way ADHD medications do."
