Cognition and Executive Function: Evidence-Based Assessment and Intervention Tools to Improve Participation - In-Person- Two Days

Cognition and Executive Function: Evidence-Based Assessment and Intervention Tools to Improve Participation - In-Person- Two Days is organized by Education Resources, Inc. (ERI) and will be held from Aug 21 - 22, 2026 at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Support Center, Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America.

Description:
Strengthen your understanding and evaluation of cognition and executive function, including attention and focus, behavioral control, emotional regulation, memory, organization, generalization, and initiation. Provide targeted interventions for skill building, activity adaptation and environmental modifications that promote participation. Apply learning to case studies to further critical thinking skills.

Cognition and executive function skills: learn how to assess the various components of each and choose evidence-based interventions/strategies that positively impact a child’s participation goals.   Case analysis and discussion will be used to help you to think critically about children with attention/focus, behavior/emotional/ self-regulation, memory, organization/action, generalization, transfer and motivation problems. Learn sensory, mental, verbal and task modification strategies, scaffolding, discovery learning, behavioral and skill acquisition approaches and more!

Learning Objectives:

• Identify how cognitive theory influences development.
• Relate an element of the cognitive domains to a child’s daily function.
• Relate an element of executive function to daily life.
• Choose an evidence-based assessment method used to evaluate cognitive dysfunction in children.
• Choose two intervention strategies that best address a child’s participation goal based on the case study provided.
• Determine which intervention plan best addresses a child’s participation goal based on the case study provided.
