Description
Watch this experiential program recording and learn evidence-based cognitive, physical and environmental strategies to help kids and teens take their Executive Function (EF) skills to the next level!
Easily integrated into any classroom, clinic, or home, these strategies promote self-regulation to allow students to attend and recall what they are learning, and then to be able to expand into higher-level executive functions throughout the day.
Most importantly, you will learn how to use goal attainment scaling to take your performance building strategies to build habits and routines—the key to independence and success! You will learn proven skill-building and power driver interventions that are quick, individualized, and easy to use!
Finish this program being able to implement:
- A model of impulse control, working memory and flexible thinking as a lens for quick EF assessment and intervention
- Classroom-friendly strategies to address sensory arousal and attention to build self-regulation
- Performance focused interventions to promote organization, time management, and task completion
- Brain-based techniques to increase mental shifting, enhance memory, and rev up learning
- Strategies for sensory processing, arousal states, mindfulness, and sleep to enhance recall, and increase retention of information
- Techniques to increase self-awareness, self-monitoring and problem-solving skills
- Environmental strategies to create an optimal learning landscape
This recording will teach you a collaborative method of skill to performance building approaches, as well as adaptive and compensatory strategies as a “1-2 punch” to help kids and teens be proactive, socially and academically successful, with an end goal of independence! Your competence will translate to their confidence!
