Strategies for Supporting Weak Working Memory

Course overview

Working memory is a critical skill for academic and daily living success. The link between poor working memory and challenges such as ADHD, learning disorders, and Autism Spectrum Disorders has led many researchers to believe working memory is a stronger predictor of success than IQ. This highly practical, 1-hour, view-on-demand, recorded webinar explains working memory, its impacts on learning, and provides ready-to-use strategies for supporting and strengthening this essential skill. At the end of this course, you will be able to (1) define working memory, (2) identify the correlation between working memory abilities and academic and social learning, (3) critique current research related to working memory interventions, and (4) identify immediate strategies to support the structure of organization. This distance-learning, independent format is offered at 0.1 CEUs, Introductory Level, OT Service Delivery, and targeted to introductory- to advanced-level OTs, SLPs, parents, and other professionals working with children and teens with special needs.
