While most teens now understand that AI can’t (and shouldn’t) write their essays for them, many still have questions about where the appropriate line is. Can AI help with background research? Lab reports? Science fair data? College prep?

Malkin, PhD, PE, to demystify how AI fits into academic work for high school students—and where it can become problematic. Together, they unpacked when AI tools can thoughtfully support learning and when they risk undermining integrity and authentic skill development.

Executive function skills—planning, organization, emotional regulation, task initiation, and follow-through—are the foundation of independence, resilience, and success in adulthood. Yet for many teens and young adults—especially those with ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, or gifted/twice-exceptional profiles—these skills develop unevenly and under intense pressure.

On January 12, Emerging Founder & CEO Laura Barr was joined by expert clinicians Dr Elly Maras & Dr Kim Yoshino from Birch Psychology for a thoughtful, research-informed conversation about executive function development in today’s world—and what parents can do to support it.

This conversation blended clinical insight, educational strategy, and real-world application to help families better understand how the brain develops, why teens struggle, and how they build skills that actually stick.

🧠 💻 What We Explored

The Intersection of Social Milestones & Brain Development

• How advances in technology and social media have influenced adolescent brain development
• Social experiences teens are gaining—and missing—compared to previous generations
• How delayed independence can impact the development of executive function skills

Technology as a Double-Edged Sword

• Ways technology can support executive function through tools like organization systems, reminders, and scaffolding
• How technology can undermine executive function by impacting focus, emotional regulation, and task initiation
• How families can establish healthier, more intentional boundaries around technology use

What Parents Can Do to Prepare Their Teens

• Realistic ways parents can support executive function skill development at home
• What helps teens internalize executive function skills rather than relying on constant reminders or external pressure
• When executive function coaching is helpful and when a clinical assessment or therapy may be more appropriate

🌱 Why This Conversation Mattered

Executive function challenges are often mistaken for lack of motivation or effort. In reality, they reflect skill gaps shaped by brain development, stress, environment, and modern demands. This conversation helped parents shift from frustration to understanding—and from micromanaging to meaningful support.

• Handling Conflict & Repair: Families learned why conflict is a normal part of healthy relationships and how repair work builds resilience, emotional confidence, and trust.
• Upleveling Social & Communication Skills: Laura shared practical strategies for emailing professors, joining new communities, and collaborating with peers — often challenging areas for students with ADHD.
• Managing Impulsivity & Emotional Regulation: The session covered tools students can use to pause, reflect, and redirect before emotions take over.
• Using Resources & Anchors: We emphasized normalizing help-seeking and identifying academic, social, and emotional supports that help students stay grounded and successful.

🎯 Outcomes

By the end of the session, parents, students, and educators walked away with:

- A deeper understanding of the soft side of college readiness — and why it matters just as much as academics

- Conversation prompts and strategies to help build these habits at home

- Insight into how self-awareness, communication, and connection support long-term success for students with ADHD

Dr. Katie is Owner/Founder of AutismNERD - the Neurodiverse Education Resources of Denver- to support learning-different students and their families in the prep, planning, placement, and persistence of post-high school educational goals. After 20 years of employment at 5 different types of colleges and a PhD earned in Higher Education Leadership, Katie was inspired to start her private practice by parenting her 2 neurodivergent children, including serving as their IEP advocate in her local public schools.

After having advised academic plans for thousands of enrolled college students, and currently, as a Neurodiversity community advocate, Dr.Katie has seen up close how many students are challenged in college persistence. Often, this is because a student’s learning needs are not necessarily matched with their understanding of their scaffold support needs or how to access what accommodations are available and how to make that a right fit for them. Katie’s goal with AutismNERD is to support students, families, and fellow ed consultants in understanding what’s involved with bridging college-capable to college-ready skill sets. Similarly, she offers an eye on how to support a transitional match between a student’s current learning accommodations and what’s needed and available in the variety of post-high school education options. More on Dr. Katie is on her website at AutismNERD.com

Katie is joining us to share insights on the college search, match, and transition for neurodiverse students. She will cover:

• 🧩 What to consider when receiving updated neuropsychological evaluations.
• 🌐 How to navigate and evaluate support services found online.
• 🏫 The different types of college accommodations available.
• 🎓 The transition from high school to college, especially regarding IEP and 504 plans, and how these plans translate into the college environment.

Jamie is a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience. She is the owner of Ahava Counseling and the co-founder of the WrapAround Collective in partnership with Stride Denver. Jamie is passionate about supporting families and her clients create lasting impact on the systems that support their ongoing success. She believes that in order for lasting change to occur, all of the systems that support the student should have some level of consistency and provide opportunities for resilience.

The path to college is not always linear and the way we respond to the specific set of challenges during the application process can provide an avenue for growth and affirmation of values and strength. Jamie teaches at the university of Denver in the graduate school of social work, she loves working with students to determine that path forward that brings them the most fulfillment and purpose.

Leigh says the problem with existing college data lies in its abundance.  Families and counselors alike are overwhelmed and need a single resource which has been developed by someone who knows where to find actionable data and does not have a stake in student decisions.  Leigh restricts her data to that which has been provided or derived from info released by the colleges themselves.  She throws in some pretty charts, too!
