Boosting Brains: Evidence-Based Intervention for Children’s Executive Functioning

Boosting Brains: Evidence-Based Intervention for Children’s Executive Functioning

on Friday, March 7, 2025 11am-12pm MST virtual via Zoom with Laura Rowley, Ph.D. and Jessie Johnston, Ph.D. Many parents have sought executive function coaching for kids in order to support their organization, attention, and memory skills. However, the evidence base behind coaching is limited at best. Many interventions that claim to increase these skills lack the necessary research base. In this talk, we discuss common executive functions, real world implications of executive dysfunction, and evidence-based principles for designing interventions. Interventions addressed encompass physical movement, neurofeedback, and cognitive training. We will focus on practical strategies providers and parents can use for kids with ADHD. These skills may also benefit EF skills for kids more broadly as well. $27 for 1 CEU or $7 for non-CEU attendance. Register at www.ucebt.com/events
