South Africa: Practical remediation and accommodation for executive function difficulties. Explore technology and intervention ideas for your therapy practice.
South African psychologists and therapists supporting learners with executive function difficulties will come away from this course with a large set of practical ideas. It focuses on remediation and accommodation, sharing tips, strategies and technology apps that can help students at school. Therapeutic intervention is covered briefly, since each approach needs its own learning around developmental impact. Because the discussion centres on what is available in South Africa, the material translates directly into local therapy practice. The course is accredited by the HPCSA for CPD points and suits clinicians who want contextually relevant tools to use alongside therapeutic support.
The focus for this topic will be on providing as many tips and strategies as possible to equip the listener. Multiple practical ideas will be shared, including technology apps that could be used to support students in school. Therapeutic intervention will be discussed in brief as each of these interventions would require some learning with regards to the impact on development. The discussion will center around what is available in South Africa, and therefore have the ability to find application in the therapy practice
