Course Description

It’s cozy on your private SLP island, but sometimes, you just gotta’ visit some neighboring islands to get the job done. This week’s episode with SLP turned cognitive processing nerd, Tera Sumpter, invites you to leave Speech Island (figuratively and literally) and take an excursion to Brain Boss island so that you can help your clients learn the speech and language skills they (and you) strive for. Tune in to learn about a cognitive practice model that aims to improve client and student learning outcomes by developing and using the power of executive functioning-the foundation of all learning. You’ll explore many of the sub-skills involved in overall executive functioning and learn strategies to improve your client’s error awareness and therefore, your client’s success. This one is super engaging, so you won’t need your Sudoku or snacks, but Tera might try to sit in your auditory lap as she pours out this intervention gold that is bound to blow your mind as it did mine! Bon voyage!

    A new perspective on Executive Function

    In graduate school, I only touched on the surface on Executive Function and have barely heard of it used in conjunction with pediatric therapy. The info. will assist me in educating parents about the components, inter-relationship with the brain and all learning, reflexive questioning, and visualization to help make changes in behavior.

"Thank you for making this excellent, research-based learning opportunity that is both extremely accessible and affordable. This is the best kind of PD: it’s one hour at a time so I can learn and then have time to synthesize and apply. It provides information I can apply to my practice immediately; and I can listen and learn while I drive, fold laundry, etc. thanks for the research and resources!"
