Amy Orlando, occupational therapist and founder of AEO Coaching, explains why procrastination is often a cue to adjust systems—not a sign to just “try harder.” Learn how dopamine, motivation, attention, and environment affect follow-through for neurodivergent students and adults. She shares brain-based ways to close the gap between intention and action. Parents will leave with practical ideas for reducing overwhelm, building routines that stick, and helping their child work with their brain instead of against it.
