An Executive Functioning View of Poor Impulse Control, Motivation, and Self-Regulation

Course overview

Children and teens with sensory needs often continue to struggle with self-control, including impulse control and behavioral regulation, even after sensory plans are implemented. This groundbreaking, 2-hour, live, interactive webinar hosted by Zoom explains the way sensory and executive function (EF) skills work together, how to address both, and offers tools to discern if it's sensory or executive function related. *NOTE: AOTA grandfathered An Executive Functioning View of Poor Impulse Control, Motivation, and Self-Regulation on September 1, 2020. This course is an updated version submitted to AOTA for review. Once approved, the PD activity ID number will be updated next to the AOTA banner under the CEU section. At the end of this course, you will be able to (1) define executive functions and list related skills; (2) identify levels of the Intervention Pyramid, which helps sequence interventions from the bottom up; (3) identify the difference between Behavior Management Plans and Behavior Instruction Plans; (4) list traits of poor self-regulation from a sensory and EF perspective; and (5) state at least ten resources or strategies to use immediately to assist children with impulse and inhibition challenges. This distance-learning, interactive format is offered at 0.2 CEUs, Introductory Level, OT Service Delivery, and targeted to introductory- to advanced-level occupational therapists, SLPs, teachers, parents, and others working with children with developmental needs.
