and Hunnewell Education Group
August 8, 2014
Concerned that stress and anxiety are adversely impacting your child’s organizational ability and academic performance? Does his attention wander? Is she stressed by social concerns? Are they worried about getting into college?
Kids today are under more pressure than ever. Increasing in both prevalence and severity among students, and manifesting at earlier ages, anxiety actively undermines executive function and exacerbates many underlying conditions, including ADHD.
Please join NESCA Neuropsychologist and Anxiety Specialist Angela Currie, Ph.D., Educational Consultants Oakes Hunnewell and Chris Overbye and admissions officers from five prominent independent boarding schools in a discussion of how their schools effectively support today’s highly-stressed students, and scaffold their academic and social success.
Using representative case studies, our panelists will describe how their schools would meet the needs of three bright but anxious and underperforming students who need support. A question and answer period will follow the presentation. Light refreshments will be served.
When: 7:00 - 9:00pm Tuesday, October 7, 2014
