THE AUTISM ADHD PODCAST

13 Ways to Support Motivation & Executive Functioning in ADHD and Autistic Children


Listen Later

If you've ever thought, "Why don't they just do what I say?" or "They need to be more motivated," this episode will completely change how you support autistic and adhd children.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • What motivation actually is (cognitively speaking) and how it relies on executive functioning
  • The specific executive functions that impact motivation
  • How executive functioning challenges lead to anxiety and depression when kids are blamed instead of supported
  • Real case examples of what "unmotivated" looks like from the outside—and what's really happening on the inside
  • 13 practical, neurodiversity-affirming strategies you can use TODAY to actually help neurodivergent kids succeed.

I'm so excited for you to listen to this episode:)
