Course Description:
Speech language therapists (SLPs) frequently work with clients who can perform well in structured sessions but struggle with follow-through and generalization in real life. Executive-function challenges can also make therapy sessions difficult to run and hard to sustain. This session covers executive functions including attention regulation, working memory, cognitive flexibility, planning/organization, inhibition, and self-monitoring and how these skills impact treatment efficacy. We will discuss how these skills shape communication and literacy outcomes. Through practical case examples in autism and dyslexia, participants will learn to interpret neuropsychological findings beyond standardized scores, identify executive-function bottlenecks affecting therapy performance, and apply concrete supports and scaffolds that improve engagement, reduce session breakdowns, and strengthen carryover across settings. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary collaboration with neuropsychologists, school psychologists, educators, and families to develop coordinated plans and functional, individualized goals.
