Executive Functioning: Start Developing These Skills Now
March 9, 2027 (Tuesday)
Executive functioning skills begin developing during the toddler years and support children’s ability to manage emotions, attention, behavior, and daily routines. This session will explore the development of these foundational skills, the impact of language delays, and practical strategies caregivers and professionals can use to support executive functioning through everyday activities and play. Participants will learn how to recognize opportunities to strengthen executive functioning skills within natural routines and interactions. Strategies for promoting self-regulation, flexible thinking, problem-solving, and independence will also be discussed.
To receive credit for this session, participants must attend the presentation and complete a post-session self-assessment and reflection.
