Course Abstract
Executive function skills give us the prospective to consider and voluntarily control our thinking, mediate our emotions, and regulate our behavior. They are the "higher thinking brain" skills compared to the reactive "lower brain" impulses. This course will highlight many practical tools to teach students to know how to plan for and begin tasks, internalize routines and effectively make transitions. Learn innovative techniques to support a student in developing an internal ability to sense the passage of time and to self-monitor pace to complete tasks within planned time frames.

Teaching the student to be aware of a situation in class or reading the room was quite helpful. I work with a student who when I bring him back to his classroom is overwhelmed by what is usually taking place and can't figure out how to engage in a given task upon his return.
