Description
Executive functioning difficulties are evident in most conditions cared for by school psychologists. It is critical to have a firm foundation in the topic. This discussion will include recent progress in our understanding of EF including concepts and theory, assessment approaches, and most importantly, evidence-based methods of interventions for improving EF. This workshop will answer the following questions about EF: What is it? How do I assess for it? What can I do about it?
