recognized industry experts.
Video Runtime: 145 Minutes; Learning Assessment 19 Minutes
This webinar will focus on evidence-based interventions for cognitive skills, addressing methodology for direct practice and strategies for long-term retention. We will begin with a review of neuroscience research on human brain organization of cognitive functions and then discuss evidence-based research on how those capacities develop in children and are rehabilitated in adults. The webinar will focus on best practices for habilitation and rehabilitation of cognitive regulatory executive functions. This content is designed for clinical application by speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists who work with children or adults for whom cognitive issues interfere with long-term treatment outcomes. This course is specifically designed to expand the therapeutic knowledge base to include evidence-based approaches that enhance regulatory auditory, visual, and motor executive skills, including working memory, organization, problem-solving, and cognitive flexibility.

Video Runtime: 80 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 31 Minutes
The course is a review and update on new neuroscience and applicable cognitive-communication research for addressing impairments associated with right-hemisphere stroke. The course will emphasize research on those impairments and interventions that cross therapeutic disciplines. The areas reviewed include executive functions, such as strategic attention, working memory, error monitoring, and self-regulation. The content also focuses on the impact of hemispatial neglect on activities of daily living as well as literacy and social communication skills.

Video Runtime: 48 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 24 Minutes
This two-part course will review new research and provide practical information on new approaches for working with adolescents. The focus of Part 1 will be an overview of the research on the adolescent brain mismatch--developing social skills versus executive functions. It will also include information on the dynamic coaching model to enhance adolescent motivation for intervention. The content is helpful for reading, language, and learning disability specialists working with adolescents in academic or private practice settings.
