Organize the Chaos: Executive Functioning 101

“Executive Functioning” is a buzz word that is getting thrown around more and more. But what does it really mean, and how is it impacted in neurodivergent individuals? This workshop will define executive functioning broadly, helping behavior analysts and professionals understand the breadth of executive functioning deficits. Nicole L. Stewart, an expert in ADHD treatment, will go through how behavior analysts are well positioned to support those with executive functioning deficits. This workshop will give you not just concrete strategies to apply immediately, but also a conceptual framework to analyze these issues in a client-centered and neuroaffirming way.
