Executive Function and Language Intervention for Preschoolers (WEB19017)
Many children with impaired language also have problems with executive function that may affect their language development and/or their responses to language intervention. This session will explore the effects of executive function deficits on language, specifically in the context of speech-language intervention. The speaker will share strategies for identifying executive function deficits and reducing executive function demands on children during speech-language treatment.
This course is a recorded session from the 2019/2020 online conference “Innovative Methods for Preschool Assessment, Collaboration, and Treatment.”
Learning Objectives:
You will be able to:
- identify specific child behaviors in language intervention that may result from underlying executive function problems
- describe potential changes to the delivery of language services and/or the intervention environment that could improve these behaviors
- implement changes in intervention to reduce potential negative effects of executive function deficits on children's performance
