Interventions for Executive Functions Difficulties:

Description: 

This presentation will describe a multidimensional model of executive functions that can be used to guide case conceptualization and intervention selection.  Descriptions of executive functions difficulties and intervention strategies for children ages 4-18 will be discussed. Information from case studies demonstrating executive functions difficulties will be discussed with emphasis on intervention recommendations, implementation, and progress monitoring. Expected Learner Outcomes:

1.  gain knowledge of executive functions, and their roles in classroom behavior, learning and production.

2. identify and use a functional behavioral approach to identifying executive function difficulties

3. identify appropriate interventions for executive function difficulties

4. gain knowledge of sources of information about interventions for executive functions difficulties.

About the Presenter: George McCloskey, Ph.D., is a Professor and Director of School Psychology Research in the Psychology Department of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.  He frequently presents at national, regional and state meetings on executive functions assessment and intervention topics.  Dr. McCloskey is the lead author of Assessment and Intervention for Executive Function Difficulties and Essentials of Executive Function Assessment and is working on a book on executive functions interventions for use by teachers in general and special education settings.

Building Fidelity in Your MTSS Implementation

 The session will discuss procedures and tools for implementation within all three tiers of a MTSS (Multi-tiered System of Support) for the purpose of building fidelity.  The content of the discussion will be drawn from current research and eighteen years of practical implementation experience.  Attendees will be given knowledge and tools for analyzing fidelity within each tier and for engaging in the TIPS process to determine the appropriate actions for increasing the level of fidelity in each tier.  Ensuring that there is an acceptable level of fidelity within the MTSS is crucial before the system can be used as an SLD eligibility determination process. 

 

Presenter  

Dr. Tom Jenkins has researched and worked in a MTSS for the last nineteen years.  Dr. Jenkins obtained his Master’s and Educational Specialist Degrees from James Madison University and his Doctoral Degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Virginia .  He has performed over 450 trainings on the local, state, national, and international levels addressing all components of MTSS.  Dr. Jenkins also works as a School Psychologist with New Hanover County Schools in Wilmington , NC , which has been implementing a MTSS for SLD eligibility determination for the last ten years.
