37th Annual Conference: "A DAY WITH DR. ERIC TRIDAS and
SISTER GILCHRIST COTTRILL, CE: Executive Functions"
February 25, 2012
UPDATED INFORMATION!
Executive functions impact an individual’s capacity to perform in an
independent, purposeful and goal oriented fashion.
In this seminar, Dr. Tridas will describe the relationship between executive
functions, ADHD, dyslexia and other learning challenges.
The clinical manifestations of these common disorders will be reviewed
along with the strategies used to manage them.
NEW!! Sister Gilchrist Cottrill, CE, will also be joining us. She is
internationally known, and has trained hundreds of teachers to lead
interventions that impact executive functions. She will share strategies to
promote executive functions in the classroom.
These strategies were part of a teacher training/ master level program and
school consultation project that included 42 schools on the West Coast of
Florida and was coordinated by Sister Gilchrist Cottrill. She has also
developed 3 schools for children with special learning needs and currently
directs one of them, Ave Maria Preparatory School in Bradenton, FL.
