Executive Functioning
Lanterman Regional Center, in collaboration with LACOE and Inclusive Design/Specialized Services, invites you to participate in this Executive Functioning workshop, on Thursday, January 20, 2022 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Executive Function is a set of cognitive skills that includes focus, following directions, flexible thinking, self-control, and handling emotions. When executive functioning is disrupted, we may have difficulty paying attention, starting tasks, prioritizing, planning, understanding different points of view and self-monitoring behaviors. As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, let’s dialogue on how to be prepared to tackle this growing challenge.
In this session, attendees will learn from Facilitator Marcie Peoples how to:
- Identify what difficulties with executive functioning looks like
- The impact of deficits in executive functioning and how this can impact life in all settings
- The three main areas of executive function: working memory, cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control
- Strategies on how to help us:
- Start and complete tasks
- Prioritize tasks
- Switching from one task to another
- Keep track of belongings
- Manage time
- Identify strengths to leverage weaknesses
Interpretation will be provided in Spanish and Korean.
Space is limited. Registration required: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAtdOiurzwvH91-b5Hmtg0WKcXdR26zuOZp
