This program gives SLPs practical strategies to assess executive function (EF) skills in children and adolescents (aged 6–22), and interventions to support the development of situational awareness, goal selection, task management and planning, time management, and organized thinking. Topics include: self-regulation and situational awareness; forethought and hindsight; episodic and working memory; declarative language and self-talk; organization and planning; and higher-order thinking and reasoning.
