DESCRIPTION:In this talk Dr. Hendry will introduce two co-deve
 loped and evidence-informed approaches to empoweri
 ng parents to foster their children’s goal-directe
 d behavioural and cognitive control skills (known 
 as executive functions): The Playful Packs project
  addresses barriers to engagement in parent-child 
 activities\, amongst UK families from less-advanta
 ged backgrounds (https://www.playfulpacks.uk). The
  Supporting Toddlers with a connection to autism o
 r ADHD to develop strong Attention\, Regulation an
 d Thinking skills (START\; www.startproject.info) 
 is a neurodiversity-affirming programme which aims
  to support executive function development through
 : increasing opportunities for toddlers to practis
 e executive function skills in enjoyable ways that
  can be embedded into day-to-day life\; recognisin
 g how parents already support their child’s develo
 pment\, and empowering them via peer-support to de
 velop their knowledge and confidence further\; and
  promoting accommodations and adaptations to meet 
 children’s individual needs so that they are best 
 able to use their executive function skills.\n\nTh
 e talk will be followed by a short Q&A.
