Thanks to The OT Toolbox for another excellent post!

Breaking down a task means looking at the underlying areas. The process of thinking through a multi-step task (like a bigger homework assignment) and mentally ordering the steps to completion can be the breakdown area for some kids.

(Get out the backpack. Find the right folder. Gather the papers, books, pencil. Find the page number. Organize thoughts. Filter out distractions. Create mental responses. Organize and problem solve. Recall what was mentioned in class. Put answers to paper.)

That ability to identify high priority tasks and rate them compared to low priority tasks can be quite difficult.

Prioritization is the process of figuring out what parts of a task or activity are the most important and what is the first thing that needs to be done and what is the most important part of the project that needs to be completed. Prioritization is the ability to identify tasks in an order that makes sense!

Prioritization is an executive functioning skill that requires several other executive functions.

🧠Initiation
🧠Planning
🧠Sustained Attention
🧠Working Memory
🧠Task Completion

Digital clutter is a constantly growing mountain of distractions. And those distractions lead to MORE distractions...impulsivity, forgotten tasks, and lost time...​​​​​​​ digital clutter impacts executive functioning abilities in a huge way!
​​​​​​​​
Just because the clutter doesn’t take up physical space it’s easy to ignore but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t effect us, in a major way.
​​​​​​​​
We have all wasted 15 minutes searching for a specific photo or an email. Then 10 minutes resetting a forgotten password. Felt that overwhelm by constantly dinging notifications.
​​​​​​​​
Here are 3 quick wins to chip away at the existing digital clutter. Set a timer and choose one!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
1️⃣ Unsubscribe from emails + delete>> Set a timer and unsubscribe from any emails you don’t read. Delete any unneeded emails.
​​​​​​​​
2️⃣ Delete photos>>Take 5 minutes and scroll through some photos. Delete duplicates or blurry shots, anything you actually won’t really look at again.
​​​​​​​​
3️⃣ Organize apps>> Go through the apps on your phone and delete any that you haven't used in the past year. Sort similar apps into folders on your screen. Just tap and drag them into a combined folder.

What are your best tips for managing the digital clutter overload?

In fourth grade, Noah’s favorite classes were social studies and math. He loved making connections to everyday life and seeing school lessons applied around him. By eighth grade, he was convinced he was no good in either subject. He hated memorizing names and dates and didn’t see the need to “...

Last week, our entire Churchill faculty participated in the ​Teaching All Kinds of Minds ​multi-day symposium ​presented by Q.E.D. ​​Foundation! 🧠✨

Understanding each child's unique learning profile - including ​A​DHD, language processing and executive functioning​ - is at the heart of what we do. Through this collaborative and insightful training, our educators deepened their toolkit to:

⭐ Leverage and support unique student learning profiles
⭐ Implement practical, differentiated instruction strategies
⭐ Cultivate inclusive environments where every learner can thrive
⭐ So much more!

We are excited to bring these insights directly into our classrooms to support every student's growth and success! 💡📚
