Content
Every goal in one's life involves executive function (EF). EF is more than strategies. The purpose of this training is to present an overview of the professional field's current thinking about the role and complexity of executive function, the process of measuring executive function, and practical supports and take-home strategies to help build executive function. It doesn't happen overnight, but with an understanding of what EF really is and lots of practice, a student's EF can be improved. Importantly, ways to apply assessment results to real-world supports and interventions will be discussed. Methods of supporting the student's executive function system including self-awareness, self-determination, strategy development, time management, and breaking down long term goals to short term goals within the school environment will be discussed.
