A Very Untapped Reunion | Nate & Connor
Om denne podcast
If you have a kid with ADHD, executive function challenges, or learning differences, welcome. You're in the right place.
The Executive Function Podcast for Student Success brings together researchers, educators, clinicians, and people with firsthand experience to talk about what actually helps students succeed in school and life.
From ADHD and procrastination to motivation, emotional regulation, study skills, and navigating college, we explore the challenges students face and the many different ways to work through them.
Hear different perspectives, challenge common assumptions, and walk away with practical strategies you can try at home, in the classroom, or with your students.
Because there's no single path to success, especially for neurodivergent learners. We're here to help you explore the options, understand what works, and find the right approach for your student.
Hosted by Brandon Slade, founder of Untapped Learning, this podcast is for parents, educators, and anyone who wants to better understand how students learn, grow, and become more independent.
Executive function coaching is what we do. Seeing your child succeed is why we do it.
