Leading with the frontal lobes to promote self-regulation and Executive Function to learning and life
Sucheta Kamath, CEO & Founder, ExQ® is honored to be an Invited Speaker at the Madison City Schools Alabama SLP Seminar. Sucheta’s talk is entitled, “Leading With the Frontal Lobes to Promote Self-Regulation and Executive Function to Learning and Life. The frontal lobes are tasked with future-forecasting; an ability to formulate goals, predict the outcomes, and reshape decisions based on personal intentions, past scenarios, ongoing experiences, and the larger social context. By connecting with the need of the future-self through self-awareness and self-regulated strategies, highly efficient and independent children and adults cultivate self-efficacy. In essence, the frontal lobes act as the boss brain, directing, supporting, guiding, and managing behaviors, attitudes, actions, and connections particularly during stress, uncertainty and change and the goal of therapy is to help the boss brain lead the way.
In this session, Sucheta will present evidence-based effective strategies to help build executive function and emotional regulation in children and adults with cognitive-communication disorders in a variety of contexts. The participants will discover effective practices designed to enhance clients’ internal and external self-awareness and ways to connect with their future-selves in order to exert greater influence on their multifaced lives. Finally, this presentation will help clinicians dive deep into the interplay between one’s own EF skills and of those that we coach, teach, or manage. If you’d like to connect with Sucheta at this event, or keep the conversation going after the event, please sign up to schedule a meeting.
