This course is probably my favorite Kelly Vess course. I am intrigued by the research she presented which validates that "story telling" can improve executive functioning. To quote Vess: "Improved oral narrative skills can directly improve three core executive function skills of: attention, verbal working memory, cognitive flexibility."

great explanations of how to incorporate movement into therapy to address narratives. This info can be easily applied to the school based setting.
