The Relationship Between Executive Dysfunction, Academic Performance, and Daily Life – A CNNH Webinar

POAC is pleased to join with The Center for Neurological and Neurodevelopmental Health (CNNH) in presenting: The Relationship Between Executive Dysfunction, Academic Performance, and Daily Life

A Free Webinar 

Executive functioning is an umbrella term encompassing a myriad of individual skills necessary for academic success and self-sufficiency. Weaknesses in these areas often manifest most prominently in late childhood and early adolescence and present as a challenge for parents and educators, alike. Although executive functioning has been an area of increasing interest in education, psychology, and the general media, it is often unclear how this skill set relates to school performance and everyday functioning. This webinar will focus on reviewing the specific abilities subsumed under the term "executive functioning" as well as the educational and functional implications of deficits in these areas. In addition, a brief review of interventions and strategies for addressing these difficulties will be provided.
