Coaching Executive Functions with Victoria Bagnall

In this episode, I speak with Victoria Bagnell from Connections in Mind. Victoria specializes in training teachers and executive function coaches. Her organization is dedicated to supporting children in developing their executive functioning skills.

We begin by understanding what executive functioning is and why children need support in this area. Victoria provides insights into what executive function coaching looks like and discusses the necessary changes in classrooms to address unconscious bias against children struggling with executive functioning. We also explore strategies for creating a sense of belonging to prevent children from masking or acting out. Additionally, we cover techniques to help children stay motivated and how Connections in Mind assists adults in developing their executive functioning skills.

Join us as we explore these critical topics and learn how to better support children and adults in enhancing their executive functioning abilities.
