Description

Lately, executive function skills feel like they are in short supply in the students we serve. This webinar focuses on providing faculty and staff with tips and strategies that support students with executive dysfunction concerns, especially those who are neurodiverse (i.e., neurospicy). Learn concepts that not only benefit students, but also help educators feel more in control of their own executive functioning in the classroom and beyond.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the 11 areas of executive function and how they impact learners.
  • Identify at least one tool that can be used with neurodiverse students either in the classroom or with other support services.
  • Explain the four tenets of working with neurodiverse students: be mindful, be flexible, be aware, and be compassionate.

Note: Webinars are free for individuals at NISOD member colleges.

Certificate and CEUs for Webinars

Learners will have the option to earn a certificate of attendance or a certificate with Continuing Education Units (CEU) upon completion of the webinar. To earn a certificate with CEUs, the learner must successfully pass the learning assessment with a score of 80% or higher. All learners must complete the post-event evaluation to earn credentials. 

The duration of this webinar is one hour, which is equal to 0.1 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
