Presentation Description

Executive functioning skills are a base from which we work to help us organize and execute our thoughts and actions. Unfortunately, not all learners have built these skills and we don’t always know how to help them. This session will review the three main subcategories of executive functions, provide instructional examples, and will offer time for you to think about and document where you’d like to start and how you’ll help learners apply these skills.
