A103000197860
Qualification Level
This 3-hour session examines a systemic approach to identifying and assessing the executive functions of students and guiding specific supports and interventions to improve the executive function related skills. This session reviews a theoretical evidenced-based model that details how EF is related to chronic learning and attentional deficits and prescribes methods for assessing EF domains (Brown, 2013). In addressing the components of the model, we will discuss assessing EF deficits associated with learning disabilities as well as how to develop proactive EF skills: getting organized and started on tasks; focusing, shifting, and sustaining attention; managing alertness; sustaining effort to complete tasks; processing and outputting information efficiently; managing emotions; using working memory; and monitoring one’s actions. Price includes up to 40 people per session.
Training orders will be processed within 5-7 business days of order placement. A training consultant will contact you to coordinate your training. Training dates are scheduled no earlier than 5 weeks from order placement.

As an update to the widely used Brown ADD Scales™, the Brown EF/A Scales goes beyond other measures to screen and assess a wider range of impairments of executive functioning and attention.
Benefits
- Addresses situational variability: scales analyze an individual’s behavior using multiple perspectives (i.e., examinee's self-perspective, teacher's perspective, and parents' perspective).
- Items are more specific and contextual: scales include items that are more specific and ask about difficulties in a specific context (e.g., difficulty remembering what has been read).
- Directly and more accurately reports symptoms: items focus on severity of specific behaviors as opposed to frequency.
Features
