| Understood @UnderstoodOrg First question coming up... #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q1. What are some “pre-requisite” skills that all kids must develop in order to demonstrate healthy and positive behavior? #ldchat https://t.co/sW4jXwqq0B |
| Dr. Jennifer Pusateri @Jen_Pusateri @savagemichell10 Welcome, Michelle! #ldchat |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Having some technical difficulties on our end. In case you couldn't see the first question, here it is again... #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q1. What are some “pre-requisite” skills that all kids must develop in order to demonstrate healthy and positive behavior? #ldchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A1. Older kids with ADHD need a positive self-esteem to develop positive behaviors. They can't feel good about others if they don't feel good about themselves. #LDchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A1: While we may not think of this often #EF skills precede both learning and behavior. #ldchat |

| LDRFA.org @ldrfa RT Q1. What are some “pre-requisite” skills that all kids must develop in order to demonstrate healthy and positive behavior? #ldchat https://t.co/Nf9U5JuPF1 via UnderstoodOrg #ld #adhd |
| Dr. Jennifer Pusateri @Jen_Pusateri These skills are often called "Executive Functioning" and they are super-hard for kids with ADHD because they don't come with this stuff pre-installed. We have to explicitly teach things like organization, time management, reading social cues, goal setting, etc. #udlchat #ldchat |

| LDRFA.org @ldrfa RT Q1. What are some “pre-requisite” skills that all kids must develop in order to demonstrate healthy and positive behavior? #ldchat via UnderstoodOrg #ld #adhd |
| Bethany Engstrom @bengstr1 Kids have to develop skills such as listening when an adult is talking and following directions to develop positive behaviors in a classroom. #LDchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A1: Children need attention, memory, cognitive flexibility, inhibition + self-regulation to help manage their learning and behavior. #ldchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO A1: Self-awareness is important. Depending on the age, these skills are advancing. I don't expect my 6yo to have the same skills as my HS students 🙂. #ldchat |
 | Comm Learning Center @commlearncenter RT @DrLynneKenney: A1: A1: Children need attention, memory, cognitive flexibility, inhibition + self-regulation to help manage their learning and behavior. #ldchat |

 | Allie @ab12050 Hi I’m Allie and I’m a student at the University of Georgia! #ldchat #editmane2000 |
| Paige Rich @rich_prich2 A1: Children need verbal ability to communicate with their teachers and peers. Also, an understanding of content knowledge #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A1: We can teach these #EF skills a few ways. One is direct instruction. As in defining what is attention or inhibition? #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney RT @rich_prich2: A1: A1: Children need verbal ability to communicate with their teachers and peers. Also, an understanding of content knowledge #ldchat |
| CityYear @CityYear Q1. The first is self awareness. Students must understand their strengths and how they can improve. Also the ability to accept responsibility for their actions. Lastly, the ability to have an optimistic outlook. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Self-regulation allows kids to manage their emotions, behavior and body movement when faced with tough situations. #ldchat https://t.co/a9j62pNMh3 |
| Rachel Caputo @rachelcaputo3 A1. Kids need to "know themselves" as much as possible and be able to understand others. Reading nonverbal communication, as well as being a good listener. #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @ab12050 Welcome Allie. #ldchat |
| Tina Andrews @TMAndrews2006 A1 I'd add the ability to connect cause and effect #LDchat https://t.co/evJHIWnhKE |
| CityYear @CityYear RT @DrLynneKenney: A1: A1: Children need attention, memory, cognitive flexibility, inhibition + self-regulation to help manage their learning and behavior. #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @rich_prich2 Yes, so often we expect children to be able to say what they need or feel, but they do not have the words. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Trouble with social skills includes difficulty with understanding communication that isn’t spoken. #ldchat https://t.co/08zWUYkIHq |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A1: Another way is to help children experience what an #EF feels like. What does it feel like to slow down? #ldchat |
| Tina Andrews @TMAndrews2006 RT @UnderstoodJennO: A1: A1: Self-awareness is important. Depending on the age, these skills are advancing. I don't expect my 6yo to have the same skills as my HS students 🙂. #ldchat |

| Allie @ab12050 @UnderstoodOrg Q1: Kids need to have self awareness and decision making skills in order to listen and demonstrate positive behavior. #ldchat #editmane2000 |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A1: What does it feel like to slow your body down through Yoga, Tai Chi or simple movement patterns? #ldchat |

| Tina Andrews @TMAndrews2006 @DrLynneKenney Would love to hear more about HOW to teach these skills - especially to a child with a specific disability in these areas. #LDChat |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Moving onto Q2... #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A1: I think that "felt-sense" can be pretty magical for a child who is needing more thought to their actions. #ldchat |
| Allie @ab12050 Q1: Kids need to have self awareness and decision making skills in order to listen and demonstrate positive behavior. #ldchat #editmane2000 |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney RT @UnderstoodOrg: Executive functions let people plan, organize and complete tasks. #ldchat https://t.co/cxnbThaaHd |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q2. How can we identify kids with these skill deficits, and how can we help them enhance those skills? #ldchat https://t.co/oRefgtd337 |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @DrLynneKenney @TMAndrews2006 This can be used in teaching children about decision-making, too. #LDchat |

 | jeannie anderson @jeananderson1 RT @UnderstoodOrg: Trouble with social skills includes difficulty with understanding communication that isn’t spoken. #ldchat https://t.co/08zWUYkIHq |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO A2: There is no one test for #EF, but there are various tests that can be used together. Also, not all skill deficits are the same, and there are different strategies for different sub-areas of #EF. #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @TMAndrews2006 We hear you. I think seeing the beh as a stress-response helps. A child is looking for the skills to cope. #ldchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A2. Older kids with ADHD who have skill deficits need non-confrontational interaction. Coaches and peer mentors provide support that speaks to their specific needs and abilities. #LDchat |
| Bethany Engstrom @bengstr1 A2: We can identify these hildren from careful observation in the classroom. We can plan one on one activities in the classroom to help enhance their skills. #LDchat |
| Allie @ab12050 Providing resources such as assistive technology in the classroom can aid in communication skills. #ldchat #editmane2000 |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A2: About 98% of the time, when one sees a child as being willful non-compliant, they are not. #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney RT @ab12050: Providing resources such as assistive technology in the classroom can aid in communication skills. #ldchat #editmane2000 |
| Dr. Jennifer Pusateri @Jen_Pusateri A2: There seem to be some tell-tell signs: always losing papers between home and school, can't seem to prioritize for importance, overwhelmed by large tasks (like cleaning a very messy room), etc. #ldchat https://t.co/cWydzmHWAp |
| Tina Andrews @TMAndrews2006 @DrLynneKenney I always say for him Behavior IS communication. If his behavior is off he is communicating some kind of problem / distress to you. #LDChat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg @ab12050 Excellent point! And that's a perfect segue to our next resource... #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Apps can be a fun way to help your child work on social and emotional skills. #ldchat https://t.co/7BxbrHfuN8 |
| Paige Rich @rich_prich2 A2: skill deficits are typically noticeable, helping students be more social and active with eachother aids to those skills #ldchat |
| LDRFA.org @ldrfa RT Moving onto Q2... #ldchat via UnderstoodOrg #ld #adhd |
| LDRFA.org @ldrfa RT Q2. How can we identify kids with these skill deficits, and how can we help them enhance those skills? #ldchat https://t.co/NPCAq0PyeE via UnderstoodOrg #ld #adhd |

| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @DrLynneKenney I notice that executive skill deficits tend to be more pervasive than one task. I look at the patterns and then work from there. #ldchat |

 | Kati McCrone @ktmccrone @UnderstoodOrg I think we need to look beyond the academics, listen to parents, and watch how the child acts. I know that I have very poor executive functioning skills, but my grades were good enough, that even though my mom tried to get my teachers to help me, they never helped me. #LDchat |
| Rachel Caputo @rachelcaputo3 A2. Identification is seeing where a student is struggling and the skills that he or she is lacking. Modeling, or even explict instruction of the skill we would like to see improved could help. #ldchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @DrLynneKenney How can you tell when they are? #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A2: I think working on self-reg first is key, without that, attention and memory have difficulty working. Do u agree? #ldchat |
| Dr. Jennifer Pusateri @Jen_Pusateri A2b: Think about the things that you automatically do as an adult: make a list of errands you need to run, organize a junk drawer by using dividers, etc. These kinds of things don't come naturally to ADHD kids. Start using them at home all the time! #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @DrLynneKenney: A2: A2: I think working on self-reg first is key, without that, attention and memory have difficulty working. Do u agree? #ldchat |

| Tina Andrews @TMAndrews2006 @DrLynneKenney OK I love you now!! #LDchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @edielovesmath If a child possesses the skill and chooses not to use it, we need to dig deeper. #ldchat |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q3. If a parent notices unpredictable behavior in her child with #LD or #ADHD, what are some immediate steps she can take to help? #ldchat https://t.co/7KqVUvF7pc |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @Jen_Pusateri Yes, these are the ones that have academic consequences. There are also some #EF signs that show up as behavioral issues, such as frustration tolerance or response inhibition. #LDChat |
| Tina Andrews @TMAndrews2006 RT @DrLynneKenney: A2: A2: About 98% of the time, when one sees a child as being willful non-compliant, they are not. #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @edielovesmath What else is the child needing? Empathy, encouragement, togetherness, partnership? #ldchat |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Behavior issues can feel overwhelming. Here are some steps to follow. #ldchat https://t.co/ggMAbHtZng |

| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A3: We need to co-regulate with our children to keep them out of the stress response. #ldchat |
| Allie @ab12050 @TMAndrews2006 That is why early intervention is so important. Parent involvement will make a huge difference in the child’s progress, especially when they are able to work on these things in the home, and not only the classroom! #ldchat #edit2000mane |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Behavior assessments look for causes for children’s behavior issues. #ldchat https://t.co/4PPyZ7qyQi |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A3: A stress-response is what the body does biologically when faced with task demands that are too difficult. #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney RT @UnderstoodOrg: Behavior assessments look for causes for children’s behavior issues. #ldchat https://t.co/4PPyZ7qyQi |
| Kati McCrone @ktmccrone If you are an adult who never learned these things, where and how can you learn them? #LDchat https://t.co/vio68MBWrO |
| Rachel Caputo @rachelcaputo3 A3. Find what may be triggering this unpredictable behavior. Watch for what is happening directly before and after to see what can be changed to help adjust this behavior. #ldchat |
| Paige Rich @rich_prich2 A3: Stay calm and let children express their emotions! #ldchat |
| Bethany Engstrom @bengstr1 A3: One step a parent could do is keep a chart or journal of the behavior to share with the child’s doctor. #LDchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @UnderstoodOrg I'd like us also to look at EF before behavior. Can the child regulate? Can the child attend? #ldchat |
| Tina Andrews @TMAndrews2006 @UnderstoodJennO @Jen_Pusateri I always say feeling physically and emotionally safe is a prerequisite to any learning!! #LDChat |
| CityYear @CityYear A3. One step is talking with the teacher and the school counselor and seeing what are some possible supports the school can provide. Schools have many resources for students with a variety of needs. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @bengstr1: A3: A3: One step a parent could do is keep a chart or journal of the behavior to share with the child’s doctor. #LDchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO A3: Time-give the child space to calm down enough to process what happened. Don't add to the chaos w/ your emotions even though it can feel SO personal. Model breathing and calming techniques when possible. Little bodies can get so overwhelmed. #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney RT @rich_prich2: A3: A3: Stay calm and let children express their emotions! #ldchat |

| Dr. Jennifer Pusateri @Jen_Pusateri A3: Remove the child from the stimulating situation (if possible). Help them "play the tape through"- What will happen to you if you decide to ______? What will happen to others? To your stuff? To your grades? Helping them weigh consequences aloud will build capacity #ldchat |

| Tina Andrews @TMAndrews2006 RT @DrLynneKenney: A3: A3: We need to co-regulate with our children to keep them out of the stress response. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg The teacher likely has seen similar behavior issues before in other kids. #ldchat https://t.co/Ei36wv8YHM |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @bengstr1 with that journal I like to see how was everyone in the child's environment responding. #ldchat |

| Dr. Jennifer Pusateri @Jen_Pusateri @KtMcCrone Actually, @UnderstoodOrg has lots of great resources for adults living with ADHD. I am one of these myself, and it's taken me a LONG time to find strategies that keep me organized, but it is possible! While you're learning for yourself, model this for your kiddo! #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @bengstr1 I learned over the years, I was not conscious of what my own face and gestures were saying. #ldchat |
| Rachel Caputo @rachelcaputo3 A4. Parents can provide additional insight that teachers may not have and teachers can provide strategies that can be applied in all aspects of the student's life. #ldchat |
| Allie @ab12050 A3: I think it’s important to put yourself in the child’s shoes. They cannot process the issue, so it’s important to work with them in a caring way or they will be confused as to what they’re doing wrong. #ldchat #edit2000mane |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO A4: Become a united team. Tie the school strategy together w/ the home strategy so that reliability reinforces the desired behavior. Communicate regularly, w/out taking things personal. #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A3: We need to Be the Calm. #ldchat |
| Bethany Engstrom @bengstr1 A4: They can work together by sharing what helps the behavior at school and at home to form a consistency for the child. #LDchat |
| LDRFA.org @ldrfa RT RT DrLynneKenney: A3: Talking quietly, moving slowly, keeping yourself calm, what is the child needing right now is the first step. #ldchat via UnderstoodOrg #ld #adhd |

| CityYear @CityYear A4. Communication is vital. There has to be dialogue between parents and teachers. We're all on the same page. Teachers want students to succeed and parents want their children to excel. #ldchat |

 | Mar @marietaqueta RT @UnderstoodOrg: LIVE NOW Welcome to today’s #ldchat! This is Dan with the Understood team. We’re joined today by pediatric psychologist and Understood expert @DrLynneKenney to discuss behavioral issues in kids with #LD and #ADHD. https://t.co/VPniGvs5Gt |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney A4: We need to be patient, teaching takes time and new skills take repetition with a safe care provider. #ldchat |
| Dr. Jennifer Pusateri @Jen_Pusateri A4: Both Ts and Ps are experts when it comes to a child. The Ts are experts at seeing that kid within a school enviro, and the Ps are experts at knowing what makes that child tick. If Ts and Ps join forces, this can be a game-changer! Constant communication is key! #ldchat |
| Tina Andrews @TMAndrews2006 Can't stress enough that the biological response - the deregulation is totally involuntary. and often happens too fast for a child to realize what is going on!! #LDChat https://t.co/HZrGVRd4TO |

| Allie @ab12050 Intervening in the child’s natural environments are so important. Practicing the same activities at home and at school, so that it comes natural to the child in all environments. Communication between parent and teacher is key! #ldchat #edit2000mane |
