REGISTRATION CLOSES Monday April 24th, 2023
This live, 4-session webinar is designed to provide caregivers of children on the autism spectrum with an improved understanding of executive functioning (EF) difficulties that impact their child’s daily functioning and teach caregivers evidence-based, easy to use tools to support their child with EF struggles. Through using both a flexible e-learning tool called “eUnstuck and On Target” and attending live educational presentations, caregivers will learn strategies to understand and address their child’s difficulties with regulation of feelings, behavior and thinking. Caregivers will learn techniques that will allow them to coach their children in ways that foster improved flexibility, regulation and skills for organizing goals and plans. These strategies and techniques are derived from the Unstuck and On Target curriculum (© 2021, Cannon, Kenworthy, Alexander, Werner and Anthony).
Prior to registering for this course, we strongly recommend that caregivers visit the Unstuck and On Target website (https://www.unstuckandontarget.com/) and look at the videos and other resources under the “Families and Caregivers” tab. This is recommended to help caregivers decide if the focus and content of the course is applicable to them and their interactions with their child.
Learning Objectives
After this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify struggles with executive functioning (EF) that are commonly under-recognized or misunderstood in children on the autism spectrum.
- Describe accommodations and other tools that help reduce overload and bridge gaps created by EF difficulties.
- Name strategies that improve flexibility, regulation and planning skills in children who struggle with executive functioning.
Who this course is intended for: Parents or other close family members caring for children on the autism spectrum who are between the approximate ages of 8 and 11 years old. The Unstuck and On Target curriculum is for school-aged youth with good verbal skills but who display difficulty with executive functioning skills.
