Executive Function Skills
with Sarah Ward, M.S., CCC/SLP
This seminar was approved by the Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology & Hearing Aid Dispensers Board. While Friday is geared more toward professionals, earn CEUs on either day. Certificates provided the day of the event.
Star Academy proudly welcomes Sarah Ward to give parents and professionals practical strategies to improve Executive Function Skills. You're sure to walk away with new ideas and strategies to better assist clients, students, and your own children!
Learn how to clearly define the key components of executive control and then walk away with many simple, ready-to-use strategies and tools for teaching students how to develop independent executive function skills:
Developing a "Memory for the Future" is important for goal setting! Students need to know the goal and then use self initiated organizational strategies to achieve their goals. Improve a student's awareness skills so they can "read a room"; and use their reasoning skills to "stop, think and create" an appropriate action plan with anticipated possible outcomes.
To See and Sense the Passage of Time is a fundamental skill that students who tend to procrastinate need to develop! Learn how to help them accurately and effortlessly estimate how long tasks will take, change or maintain their pace, and carry out routines and tasks within allotted time frames. Help students adopt a mindful approach to homework and to develop personalized study habits.
Managing the Multiples is a reality our kids face everyday! Learn how to help students manage homework, projects, extracurricular and after school activities....and still find some down time! Support students through the process of recording, bringing home, completing and returning assignments with simple routines that can lead to independence.
Organize their Homework Space and Personal Belongings: Learn how to create a positive and productive environment for homework with fundamental rules that can get and keep students organized beyond the first week of September. Help students to create and own strategies to track and organize their materials.
"The first time I saw Sarah speak, I knew I had to have her come to Star Academy.
I left her presentation with SO MANY practical tools.
As an educator and as a parent, I began using the tools she gave me
right away at work and at home. Sarah is amazing!"
