ASHA Learning Pass

Teachers and administrators increasingly turn to school-based SLPs for intervention for executive functioning (EF) deficits. This session is directed toward clinicians working in schools (especially high schools) who have acquired the basic background knowledge (e.g., what is EF, what are the particular domains of EF, etc.) and need to learn how to plan and implement specific EF interventions.

This course is a recorded session from the 2021 ASHA Convention Virtual Library (session 2167V).

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

• Explain the 10 domains of EF, differentiating between compensatory and developmental approaches to intervention 
• Discuss six principles of EF intervention 
• Apply principles of EF to case studies and in your clinical setting
