Strengthening Executive Function in the Early Years: Designing Environmental Scaffolds and Child-Specific Interventions (Part 2)

AbleNet University FREE Webinar

Part 2 of a 3 part series:
"Executive functioning, an important area of growth during the early childhood period, is critical for school readiness and success. This three-part webinar series will present easy-to-use environmental scaffolds, growth-promoting instructional experiences and child-specific interventions woven into the daily routines to develop and strengthen executive functioning in young children, those who have or at risk for developmental delays.

Participants will be able to:
Increase their awareness and understanding of the growth of executive functioning in young children and how crucial these skills are for their development, learning and social competence.

Gain skills in creating growth-promoting environments and personalized instructional interventions to develop and strengthen executive functioning – working memory, cognitive flexibility, self-control – in young children, those who have or at risk for developmental delays. 

Learn how to engineer easy-to-use learner-specific scaffolds and adaptations to increase access, engagement and participation of young children with special needs to enable their attainment of social-emotional, language and cognitive competence, and school readiness skills."
