Overview: Working Memory is a necessity for engaging in a variety of everyday occupations including learning, socializing and task completion. The issues of sequencing naturally fall under the broader category of Working Memory.
Working Memory is the basis of TRUNKS, an engaging interactive game developed by Dianne Long and published by Therapro. Inherent to the game is the pairing of multi-modal forms of input (visual cues, reading cues, motor engagement, etc.) to remember.
In this seminar Diane Long will discuss Working Memory and demonstrate the many ways TRUNKS can be used to help children remember.
Learning objectives: At the end of the seminar Attendees will
understand theories about the developmental aspects of working memory
understand how working memory contributes to learning, socializing, and task completion
learn strategies for improving working memory skills for children with attentional and other deficits
Location: Therapro Showroom 225 Arlington St Framingham, MA 01702 (Get Directions)
