Workshop Description

Attention and memory are two challenging aspects for students with needs and diverse learners. While THERAPISTS, TEACHERS and INTERVENTIONISTS aim to boost academic outcomes for students with needs, the effective intervention needs to address both attention and memory challenges alongside subject area learning. In this workshop, we handpicked several principles in neuroscience and discuss what we have learned about attention and memory. Moreover, these principles in neuroscience will be linked to research proven strategies for academic intervention, such as mega-cognitive strategies, Strategic Instruction Model and Differentiated Instruction etc, to generate intervention applications for students in therapy and in mainstream education.

In this workshop, we will introduce (a) what we have learned from neuroscience on attention and memory, (b) linking neuroscience to research proven strategies to help students boost academic outcomes, (c) research-proven strategies in academic intervention with practical examples. Therapists, interventionists and teachers will greatly benefit from this workshop and obtain an Attendance Certificate upon completion.
