Concentration & Focus Disruption in the Digital Age & What to Do About It
New Livestream Course Sept 12, 2024 | 9 - 10:30 AM Pacific
Our livestream training events provide you with our latest thinking, practical strategies, and insightful information on important topics related to social, emotional, and academic learning. Our social cognition experts and practitioners share insights, tips, and tools gleaned from current research and decades of evidence-based practice while supporting and learning from neurodivergent and neurotypical social learners ages 4– 80+. During our livestream courses, select comments and questions submitted by attendees on the moderated chat stream are addressed during the Q&A session with the course instructor and moderator. CE credit is available for eligible professions.
The way most of us concentrate and focus our attention on things that matter has undergone a dramatic disruption in the past two decades. While what we need to do can be enhanced by technology, there are potentially even more digital factors that get in the way of meeting one’s academic, employment, and/or social goals. In this course, we will use a developmental lens as we introduce strategies to help students problem solve and self-evaluate how they set goals, make plans, and stay on task to foster executive functioning, while simultaneously and constantly being distracted by digital tools such as screens, phones, and watches. We’ll also take a deeper look at the latest research related to concentration and focus.
1.5 hours toward CE credit, available for select professionals.
