May Meeting:
Executive Functioning Workshop with Sarah Ward
|
WHEN: Thursday, May 16th, 7-9PM
Where: Lexington High School Auditorium Sarah Ward, M.S., CCC/SLP is the Co-Director of Cognitive Connections in Concord, MA. A popular, dynamic and very entertaining speaker, Sarah regularly presents locally, nationally and internationally on the topic of executive functions to a variety of professional and parent organizations, school and lay groups. She has over 20 years experience in diagnostic evaluations, treatment and case management of children, adolescents and adults with a wide range of developmental and acquired brain based learning difficulties and behavioral problems. Sarah is dedicated to developing innovative treatment strategies and educating the community to understand, care for and celebrate the learning and behavioral based differences in individuals with brain based learning differences. About Executive Functioning A common feature of weak executive function skills are reduced organization skills. As students move from elementary to middle to high school, the ability to think in an organized way or to use these “higher order thinking skills” becomes more and more important. You will learn many practical strategies to teach children how to identify the big picture, to integrate information, to make inferences, to improve their speed of processing and to problem solve. In addition you will learn concrete strategies to help children manage their time and materials to successfully record and complete nightly homework assignments, long term projects and to prepare for tests. This workshop is Sponsored by LexSEPTA and LexSEPAC https://lexsepta.org |
