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

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

Often children and teens with sensory needs continue to struggle with impulse control, behavioral regulation, and self-control even after sensory plans have been put into place. This groundbreaking, 2-hour course looks at how sensory and Executive Function (EF) skills work together, how to address both, and offers ways of discerning which is the primary area of challenge. This course is included in the Executive Functioning Skills: Beyond the Basics Webinar Package.
