Ready Steady Think: Executive Function Skills

Executive function (EF) skills underpin learning, language processing, and social cognition. For children with hearing loss, EF skills play a key role in reaching positive outcomes and are known to be at risk for this population. Preschool years are a key time to develop these skills through play based activities.

During this session, participants will:

Describe executive function skills.
Identify barriers to development of executive function in children with hearing loss.
Use new ideas to strengthen the development of executive function in everyday activities.
