Strategies for Supporting Executive Functioning Skills in Young Children

Description

In the past few years there has been more emphasis on executive functioning, its importance in life-time skills and how to understand it. Children with executive function difficulties will often present with challenges in the early years. Building in specific strategies and activities can support the learning of all children, and particularly those with developmental challenges or executive functioning difficulties. This workshop will review the supports that can build and develop executive function skills for children that can have life-long impact.
