Understanding executive functioning: Supporting learning and self-regulation through inclusive play-based approaches

Recommend course:

Description

Do you find that some children need extra support following directions?

Do some children seem to “get stuck” at times?

Do some children seem to have big reactions to seemingly small things?

Many of these challenges are related to the development of executive functioning skills.

Take this opportunity to join us, share strategies and network with colleagues

Together we will explore:

  • What executive functioning is and the role it plays in self-regulation
  • Why executive functioning skills are important for preschool and beyond
  • Practical and playful strategies to boost executive functioning skills & development
