Smart but Scattered (Part 2): A Student-Centered Approach to Designing Interventions for Students with Executive Skill Challenges

Peg Dawson, Ed. D.

Online Training (Zoom link will be sent to registered participants)

This workshop is intended for audiences who are well-versed in executive skills and who are looking for hands-on practice in designing interventions for students with more significant executive skill challenges. The primary focus of the workshop is to outline a set of steps to follow for developing student-centered interventions. Participants will then have the opportunity to use the procedure to design interventions, beginning with guided practice using vignettes provided by the presenter and then applying the same procedure to students in the participants’ classrooms or caseload.  

Objectives

As a result of this conference, participants will:

1.   Know how to connect common problem behaviors with underlying executive skill challenges.

2.   Design a personalized intervention to address problem behaviors tailored to an individual student and the unique context in which the problem behavior occurs.

3.  Learn strategies for engaging students in the problem-solving process so that the intervention is collaborative and student centered.

Special Note

This webinar is offered as the second of two webinars, the first of which is a week earlier on April 9. You can attend either session alone or both together. You may register for the discounted price for the two sessions and to do so you must register for the prior session and select the option to register for both at http://mspa.wildapricot.org/event-4194922. Once you register for both sessions, you will be provided with a code to register for the second day. NO REFUNDS will be available should you decide to only attend the first session.
