Description

Apps to Support Weak Executive Functioning in Children and Teens

Children and teens with poor Executive Functions often benefit from technology to help with time orientation, organization of thoughts and materials, and for tracking progress in multiple areas of life. This 1-hour webinar looks at Lori’s top 20 picks of the most widely used apps to support children with weak internal systems of time, space, and emotional regulation. This course is also available in an executive functioning webinar package.

3. Demonstrate knowledge of apps appropriate for a variety of EF challenges.
4. Build a “go-to” collection of technological supports for children and teens to help with time orientation, self-regulation of emotions, and for the organization of materials and data.
