Children who have deficient executive skills often have trouble getting started on tasks, get distracted easily, lose papers or assignments and forget to hand in homework. They make careless mistakes, put off work until the last minute and have no sense of time urgency. Workspaces are disorganized and teachers often refer to their backpacks or lockers as “black holes.” Often considered chronic underachievers, these children are at risk for academic failure as well as emotional and behavioral difficulties.
Dr. Dawson, co-author of the best-selling books Executive Skills in Children and Adolescents, 3rd Ed. (2018), Smart but Scattered (Guilford, 2009) and Smart but Scattered Teens (2013, Guilford) uses case examples along with interactive discussion to demonstrate how the executive skills manifest in daily home and school activities. Learn how to assess these skills and take home evidence-based strategies to help children and adolescents overcome executive skills weaknesses.
Leave this seminar with a set of tools that includes strategies for task/environmental modifications, skill development through cognitive/behavioral techniques and creation of incentive systems. You will be able to give teachers and parents a means for developing and improving the following:
- Organization
- Time management
- Impulse control
- Goal-directed persistence
- Executive skills critical for independent functioning

執行能力不足的孩子通常在開始任務時遇到困難，容易分心，丟失論文或作業，忘記交作業。他們犯了粗心的錯誤，拖到最後一刻才開始工作，沒有時間緊迫感。工作空間雜亂無章，教師經常將他們的背包或儲物櫃稱為“黑洞”。通常被認為是長期的後進生，這些孩子有學業失敗以及情緒和行為困難的風險。
