As someone who works with people with developmental disabilities, you may be the most likely person they may approach with questions about sexuality. This training will help professionals become more comfortable talking about this sensitive topic by discussing what needs to be taught when.

100. (PESI) Executive Function in the Classroom: 30 Cognitive-Motor Activities to Improve Attention, Memory, & Self-Regulation

Program: PESI, Inc.

Location: Virtual (PA, PA)

Audience: PESI activity attendees that HAVE COMPLETED the course and are requesting Act 48 hours.

Dates: 3/31/2026

Teaching students how they think, learn and behave empowers them to play an active role in their own learning. When children with ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, oppositional tendencies and disinterest in school are taught how to be "Cognitive Scientists” coaching their own brains to plan, prioritize, attend and remember, they become more invested in school and motivated to learn. Taking the mystery out of executive functions by showing students how to learn more efficiently while calming their defensive brains leads to better concentration, improved attention, higher academic achievement and competent social-emotional skills. In this workshop, Lynne Kenney, Psy,D., pediatric psychologist, author and international educator, will teach you how to integrate the newest research in neuroscience, kinesiology and education for kids to learn more efficiently. You will discover over 30 developmentally progressive cognitive-exercises, worksheets and activities to enliven your classroom. Learn how to improve cognition, enhance learning and empower children to be better thinkers with motor movement, sequencing, attending, self-regulation and memory activities.

OBJECTIVES
1. Implement research-based activities educators, teachers and school psychologists can use to improve thinking, self-regulation and behavior.
2. Characterize the relationship between cognition and motor movement.
3. Practice bringing physical activity back to the classroom with neurocognitive activities.
4. Demonstrate how students calm their defensive brains leading to better concentration, improved attention and competent social-emotional skills.
5. Evaluate the integration of computer-based cognitive skills training and motor movement activities
6. Choose how to enhance collaboration and cooperation in your classroom by teaching children applied neuroscience research.

Executive Function skills form the foundation of success for people of all ages. But individuals with ADHD, Autism, OCD and other conditions have significant EF deficits - failing to thrive at school, work, home and in their most important relationships. Watch this recording and get the targeted skills and tools you need to cultivate lasting change and transform the lives of those who struggle with executive deficits - the chronically lost, late and unprepared! Watch George McCloskey, Ph.D., the internationally renowned creator of the McCloskey Executive Functions Scale (MEFS) for this incredible recording. An author, researcher, and clinician with more than 20 years of groundbreaking work with Executive Functions, Dr. McCloskey will teach you how to develop customized interventions that can be used with students or clients across multiple settings from the private practice office to the classroom. OBJECTIVES 1. Analyze a comprehensive neuropsychological model of executive functions as it relates to clinical treatment. 2. Communicate how executive function difficulties are manifested in individuals diagnosed with various psychological disorders and/or enrolled in special education programs as it pertains to assessment and treatment planning. 3. Apply effective assessment techniques based on a multidimensional framework to determine executive function strengths and weaknesses and to target specific intervention needs. 4. Recommend strategies that are appropriate for fostering executive function development and/or for intervening when executive function difficulties are identified. 5. Implement strategies that bridge the gap between "external control” and "internal self-regulation”. 6. Utilize mindfulness, CBT and other evidence-based programs to foster executive function development and/or remediate difficulties.
