Executive Functioning Interventions for School Psychologists

6-Hour NCSP-Aligned Professional Development Course

Struggling to support students who are disorganized, impulsive, or frequently off task? This 6-hour professional development course for school psychologists provides practical, evidence-based strategies to evaluate and strengthen executive functioning skills across grade levels.

Participants learn how to identify common executive skill deficits, including poor time management, weak working memory, limited sustained attention, and difficulty with task initiation. The course also prepares school psychologists to guide teachers, families, and school staff in implementing effective, research-supported supports.

Grounded in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), this training connects research to real-world practice. Participants learn step-by-step techniques that promote planning, self-regulation, organization, goal setting, and independent task completion. Through case studies and interactive activities, learners practice assessing executive functioning and recommending targeted interventions. The course also emphasizes effective consultation with educators and multidisciplinary teams.

Designed specifically for school psychologists, this course supports collaboration with teachers, counselors, and paraprofessionals to build sustainable systems of support. Participants leave with practical tools to improve student independence, organization, and self-management, leading to measurable gains in academic and behavioral outcomes.
