Executive Function

List of 1 items.

  • EF & More

    Executive functioning challenges are widespread and can impact every aspect of a student's life, including academic performance, social connections, family relationships, and more. It is critical that educators understand the important role that executive functioning plays in student success and that they are equipped to support students who experience difficulties in this area.

    In this session, participants will learn what executive functioning skills are, how they develop, and what happens when their development is delayed. Participants will leave the session with practical strategies that can be implemented in any classroom setting to help students who struggle with executive functioning to reach their full potential.
