Dr. Kleiner and Jessica Lieberman, MEd, will explore ways that executive functioning challenges cascade through family systems and present techniques to help clients develop organizational skills through the content and format of executive functioning coaching. The presentation will include case study presentations of a parent and child each addressing their organizational challenges in simultaneous parallel EF coaching sessions.
