Effective Strategies for Addressing Executive Dysfunction in 2022
January 20, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 1:45 pm PST
Learn effective strategies for improving executive function—the critical cognitive skills foundational to learning.
The last 18 tumultuous months brought significant disruption to education. As a result, we’re now experiencing a rapid acceleration in the emphasis on foundational learning skills. One critical skill area is that of executive function (EF)—the set of cognitive skills that give us the ability to set goals, plan, and generally get things done. Individuals experiencing difficulty with executive function find it hard to sustain attention, follow multiple-step directions, regulate emotions and initiate tasks. While executive function impairment is often associated with neurological diagnoses (like ADHD, ASD, dyslexia, or anxiety), executive dysfunction also commonly occurs without other accompanying learning differences or diagnoses. Parents and educators alike are increasingly interested in the early detection of EF weaknesses, and the age-appropriate strategies that can be leveraged to strengthen EF skills in their learners. In this webinar, we’ll take a look at five skill groups that make up executive function. We’ll discuss how you can strengthen EF skills across each of the skill areas:- Organization and planning
- Regulating emotions
- Attention and focus
- Initiating and completing tasks
- Self-monitoring
