Building a Toolkit to Support Executive Functioning Skills – virtual workshop
April 23, 2022 @ 8:45 am - 12:45 pm
On Saturday, April 23, 2022, Autism Services, Inc. and the Autism Society Western New York are pleased to present our virtual workshop, “Building a Toolkit to Support Executive Functioning Skills,” presented by Amy Moore-Gaffney, M.A./CCC-SLP. Ms. Gaffney is an education consultant, speech-language pathologist, and TEACCH Certified Advanced Consultant at the Indiana Resource Center for Autism located at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, Indiana University Bloomington.
Executive functioning skills help us make plans, follow through, and achieve our goals, while being able to make necessary adjustments along the way. When a person is struggling to develop this set of skills, multiple areas, including academics, emotional regulation, and participating in daily living activities can be impacted. The use of evidence-based strategies can assist with the development of skills during childhood and then become life-long strategies that a person uses to have independence and success as an adult. This workshop will provide information about specific executive functioning abilities and provide strategies for parents/caregivers, teachers, and therapists to build their toolkit to provide support to those struggling with executive functioning skills. This workshop is geared towards both parents and professionals.
In addition, we are pleased to announce that we will be offering ASHA CEU credit through the Speech-Language-Hearing Association of Western New York (SHAWNY), and New York State Education Department Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy State Board Approved Continuing Competency Hours for OTs/COTAs/PTs/PTAs through Associated Physical and Occupational Therapists, PLLC (APOT)!
