Support course for children to improve executive functioning & well-being
This is a short-term modular program to support children with focus, impulsivity, and social challenges. Unique manifestations of such challenges often make daily routines and academic tasks more complex, as children can exhibit disorganisation, significant procrastination, low productivity, and social/emotional consequences.
Using fun and engaging activities along with meaningful discussions, this weekly programme will help children navigate both academic and personal aspects of their lives skillfully.
Our 10-session programme addresses the various areas of difficulty that present in many students. Each session is further tailored to the unique profile of every child.
These sessions are developed by Dr Bruhl, and are implemented by Ms. Joy de Gabriac, her assistant therapist, at the EVALUATION CENTRE in Lasne. Ms. de Gabriac has an MSc. in Clinical Psychology, and an MSc in Neuropsychology. She has obtained the SBI-Method (www.sbimethod.com) training, a behavioural intervention method based on the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approach, developed by Dr. Bruhl.
