2019 Webinar Series:
Understanding Executive Functioning: A Primer for Occupational Therapists
Presented by:
Teresa A. May-Benson, ScD, OTR/L, FAOTA
Thursday, October 17, 2019
12:00pm - 1:30pm EST
Executive functioning skills are a hot topic these days among pediatric practitioners. With an apparently increasing number of children demonstrating executive functioning challenges, occupational therapists need to have a better understanding of what these functions are, how they interface with OT areas of practice, and what role OTs might have in assessment and intervention of these executive functions. Particular areas of OT interest that will be examined include the relationship of executive functions to self-regulation and praxis skills.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar participants will be able to:
- Identify six executive function skills.
- Describe three aspects of executive functioning and how they relate to OT practice.
- Identify two assessment tools and four intervention strategies for executive functioning.
