Boosting Brains: Evidence-Based Intervention for Children’s Executive Functioning

Many parents have sought executive function (EF) coaching for kids in order to support their organization, attention, and memory skills. However, the evidence base behind coaching is limited at best. Many interventions that claim to increase these skills lack the necessary research base. In this talk, we discuss common executive functions, real world implications of executive dysfunction, and evidence-based principles for designing interventions. Interventions addressed encompass physical movement, neurofeedback, and cognitive training. We will focus on practical strategies providers and parents can use for kids with ADHD. These skills may also benefit EF skills for kids more broadly as well. (This presentation is mainly geared towards elementary school and middle school aged children) Learning Objectives 1.
