Brown EF/A Examining Executive Functions in Students with Learning and Attentional Deficits Live Webinar 3 Hours
A103000197860 Qualification Level B

This 3-hour session examines a systemic approach to identifying and assessing the executive functions of students and guiding specific supports and interventions to improve the executive function related skills. This session reviews a theoretical evidenced-based model that details how EF is related to chronic learning and attentional deficits and prescribes methods for assessing EF domains (Brown, 2013). In addressing the components of the model, we will discuss assessing EF deficits associated with learning disabilities as well as how to develop proactive EF skills: getting organized and started on tasks; focusing, shifting, and sustaining attention; managing alertness; sustaining effort to complete tasks; processing and outputting information efficiently; managing emotions; using working memory; and monitoring one’s actions. Price includes up to 40 people per session.

Training orders will be processed within 5-7 business days of order placement. A training consultant will contact you to coordinate your training. Training dates are scheduled no earlier than 5 weeks from order placement.

Course description: This 3-hour session examines a systemic approach to identifying and assessing the executive functions of students and guiding specific supports and interventions to improve the executive function related skills. This session reviews a theoretical evidenced-based model that details how EF is related to chronic learning and attentional deficits and prescribes methods for assessing EF domains (Brown, 2013).

In addressing the components of the model, we will discuss assessing EF deficits associated with learning disabilities as well as how to develop proactive EF skills: getting organized and started on tasks; focusing, shifting, and sustaining attention; managing alertness; sustaining effort to complete tasks; processing and outputting information efficiently; managing emotions; using working memory; and monitoring one’s actions.

Learning objectives: After attending this session, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the relationship that executive functions have with the learning, attentional, and behavioral issues exhibited by students with disabilities
  • Demonstrate how to gather information about executive functions through screening and assessment
  • Utilize information to identify the strengths and areas of need of individual students
  • Apply assessment results in selecting and guiding instructional strategies to both promote the development of their students’ executive functions and to improve the management of academic, attentional, and behavioral supports
