The How and Why of Executive Functions: Impacts on Language and Learning
Event date: -
Event type: Single day (a day or less)
Presented by Lisa Archibald, PhD
Children’s verbal skills differ for many different reasons. Some may have a specific deficit in learning language rules and structures. For others, the differences in expression may result from underlying limitations in memory skills, or in the cognitive control and flexibility needed to plan and monitor communication. The purpose of this workshop will be to examine how limitations in working memory, and other executive functions impact language and learning generally. Assessment and intervention strategies related to executive functions will be discussed.
