Join us at the 2024 Mississippi Speech-Language-Hearing Association Annual Convention!

Join Sucheta Kamath, CEO & Founder, ExQ^® is exicted to be an Invited Speaker for the Mississippi Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s Annual Convention. Her talk is entitled: Executive Function, Critical Thinking and the Future-Self: Applying Neuroscience to Improving Student Outcomes. Since the future is uncertain and thinking about it evokes feelings of uncertainty, children may be stuck in the here and now. Cognitive neuroscience has identified future-oriented thinking as a crucial ingredient for goal attainment and goal-directed persistence. Since the future has yet to come, we can teach children various Executive Function skills, including goal setting, planning, delaying gratification, and prospective memory skills, to reduce anxiety and bring the future into focus. This presentation will discuss evidence-based strategies to help children mentally explore the future, visualize possibilities, and figure out the best strategies to predict the future based on such explorations.

We’d love to spend some time with you at the conference, share a cup of coffee, or meet to discuss how educational leaders are partnering with ExQ to implement Executive Function curriculum around the country and explore ways to bring ExQ’s innovative curriculum to your school or district to help build the Executive Function skills needed to succeed in school and in life!
