An Executive Functioning View of Poor Impulse Control, Motivation, and Self-Regulation

An Executive Functioning View of Poor Impulse Control, Motivation, and Self-Regulation

Children and teens with sensory needs often continue to struggle with self-control, including impulse control and behavioral regulation, even after sensory plans are implemented. This groundbreaking, 2-hour course explains the way sensory and executive function (EF) skills work together, how to address both, and offers tools to discern if it’s sensory or executive function related.

Learning Outcomes

1. Define executive functions and list related skills.
2. Identify levels of the Intervention Pyramid, which helps sequence interventions from the bottom up.
3. Identify the difference between Behavior Management Plans and Behavior Instruction Plans.
4. List traits of poor self-regulation from a sensory and EF perspective.
