New Workshop!

Review Executive Function (EF) and the array of skills included under the EF umbrella. Participants will learn how observed student difficulties such as sequencing, planning, organizing, and emotional control are part of EF. We will discuss problematic student behaviors in various school settings. Strategies to provide support for students with EF skill deficits, as well as general methodology that creates an environment valuable for building stronger executive function skills for all students, will be provided. Learn how, as an educator, you can best identify executive dysfunction and subsequently support students to be more successful.
