 Keynote  •  Executive Function: More Than Just Attention
Executive functions play a critical role in the overall learning process as the all-encompassing self-regulatory system of cognition. Deficits in executive function impact all aspects of learning, including academic and social. In this mini-course, attendees will learn about the various executive function skills, their role in the learning process, means to dynamically assess them, and Tera’s SEEDS Therapy framework for executive function. Treatment techniques such as reflexive questioning, planning, internalization of meaning, and self-evaluation will be addressed.
