Reducing Homework Battles via Strengthening Executive Function Skills in MS/HS Students
October 10th at 6:30pm
"Dr. David Murphy is an engaging presenter with a wealth of knowledge in the area of executive functioning skills. He was well prepared with his presentation and provided accompanying handouts. He created a relaxing atmosphere, one which encouraged dialogue and questions from educators, parents, and caregivers in the audience. Dr. Murphy’s wealth of knowledge kept the audience’s interest. What resonated most with me personally is when he made the statement that “many kids with executive functioning deficits struggle with picturing the future”. I started re-visiting this concept and relating it to my own personal experiences in having a child with these challenges. It was an “aha” moment for me when I realized my child didn’t have a plan on executing the necessary steps to complete an assignment or daily task because he, in fact, can’t picture what “complete” will look like. In addition, Dr. Murphy did an excellent job explaining what “executive functioning” encompasses, and the impact it can have on a person’s daily functioning skills when these skills aren’t well established. Real-life examples were provided as to how these challenges have negatively impacted individuals he has worked with, along with helpful strategies. This presentation is a “must-see” for anyone who works with children and/or adults in some capacity whether he/she is a teacher, parent, or professional, in order to fully comprehend the multi-faceted areas executive functioning plays a part in."

Dr. Murphy's experience in the classroom and his ability to relate to students is evident in his presentation style.

Reducing Homework Battles via Strengthening Executive Functioning Skills
Weymouth, MA.
Dr. Murphy’s gave a practical framework for addressing executive functioning deficits. His style was engaging and effective in providing new ideas that can help me in my clinical work. He promoted an active discussion format which allowed for an engaged audience. He gave an excellent presentation and was very professional and passionate about the subject matter. Dr. Murphy hit on many of my child’s and household issues.
"Thank you so much for coming out and presenting to Norwood SEPAC on November 8, 2017. I got a lot of good feedback from parents that attended the presentation. It was helpful for parents to learn some ways in which they could assist their children in acquiring the tools they need to get organized in life and with homework so that they become more independent. As the child becomes more independent with their schedule and takes ownership of their tasks and time, the homework battle will become non-existent. I think the strategies will really help students who struggle with executive functioning and attention deficit." Jennifer Wilds, Chair Norwood SEPAC
"Dr. Murphy's approach to helping parents and children eliminate homework battles is thorough and comprehensive. He approaches these common parent-child homework challenges and struggles in a positive, empowering way for both parents and children. The strategies he offers are practical and seem easy to implement, including tools to structure a child's day and create routines for promoting success and independence. His program encompasses much more than just tackling homework battles. It addresses responsibility on the part of the child for household chores, rules, and expectations as well. Dr. Murphy is approachable and accessible and provides real life examples throughout his presentation. He and his program are a potential resource for parents and children of all ages with varying levels of need. His desire to share his knowledge with the community is wonderful, including his live video presentations on his website and youtube channel." - Scituate SEPAC
"I was very impressed with David when he came to speak to our InPAC group at South Shore Charter Public school. His honest and practical approach to assisting children with attention and executive functioning struggles was refreshing. Parents and educators left with a fresh perspective and tangible skills to put into place. His ability to relate to a group of parents that spread across multiple grade levels was impressive. David is a wonderful resource in this area and look forward to utilizing him for future workshops and professional developments. "-Matthew-Director of Learning Services
