Understanding ASD
Through the Lens of Executive Function
Webinar Sessions
Ever wondered why the student with ASD presents with behaviours that interfere with their learning, social behavior and performance in everyday tasks. One explanation is their weak Executive Skills.
Our executive skills are a set of mental processes that enable us to manage our day-to-day tasks, organize and strategize key events in our lives. For students with ASD, the autistic mind is a chaotic space (Moraine, 2016) and so daily tasks at school and home, social interactions and planning become challenging for them. During this workshop, participants will learn more about the importance of understanding the implications of weak Executive Skills for the student with ASD, its effect on social interaction, decision making, setting personal goals and achieving the necessary tasks within the home and school contexts.
Evidence-base and practical strategies will be presented that show how learning and participation can be successful for the student with ASD. (PTS: 1.1, 1.5, 1.6, 4.1, 4.2, 6.3)
