This instructor-led class is designed to help participants build cognitive flexibility—the ability to adapt to change, shift perspectives, and respond effectively to unexpected situations. Through structured lessons and guided activities, participants will learn how to manage transitions, problem-solve in real time, and adjust their thinking when routines or expectations change. Topics will include understanding flexible vs. rigid thinking, coping with changes in plans, considering multiple solutions to a problem, and learning how thoughts influence reactions and behaviors. Participants will practice skills such as transitioning between tasks, accepting “no” or changes in routine, and viewing situations from different perspectives. Instruction will incorporate role-playing, visual supports, group discussions, and real-life scenarios to promote skill development and generalization across home, community, and workplace settings. Emphasis will be placed on building tolerance for uncertainty and developing strategies to remain calm and engaged during change.
