TUESDAY ONLY REGISTRATION – Building Executive Functioning Support That Sticks: Hands-On Strategies and Assistive Technology Across the Lifespan (Make and Take)

Description

Workshop Date/Time: Tuesday, October 20 | 8:00 am – 3:30 pm

Presenter: Cassie Frost, M.Ed, ATP

Description: This hands-on workshop will support participants in understanding and addressing executive functioning needs in the classroom and through the transition into adulthood. The workshop will begin with a practical overview of executive functioning, focusing on its impact on daily life. Participants will engage in guided activities and discuss real-world case examples. The second half of the day will focus on assistive technology, with high and low-tech tools being introduced and explored. Participants will create a resource list of tools they can use immediately with students or adults. Participants will create make-and-take supports, including fidgets, task spinners, strategy cards, and self-monitoring scales, and will leave with ready-to-use materials, strategies, and tools.
