Executive Functioning Skills: Strategies for Children With ADHD and SPD

Course overview

Performance skills, including process skills related to executive functioning, are one of the domains of practice for occupational therapists, but there is little information available about this topic for pediatric OTs. Clinicians need adequate training to understand what executive function skills are and which strategies can be used to help children and youth. This course will provide pediatric occupational therapists with an overview of executive functioning skills in children and youth. Clinicians will learn how to identify executive functioning skill deficits and how to implement practical takeaway strategies to help children and youth with success in childhood occupations.
