Jason Fogler, MA, PhD: “Executive Functioning: Typical &
Atypical Development, and What Parents & Educators Can
Do To Support Their Student”
Wednesday, October 17, 2018 | 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Location: The Pike School, Andover
Attention, concentration, focus, delay of gratification, impulse control, regulation of emotions, multi-tasking...Executive Functioning is a complex neuro-cognitive process. The acquisition of executive function skills begins in the preschool years and continues to evolve well into adulthood. In our information-driven (and often saturated) world, executive functioning skills are essential for learning and preparing for maturity. Electronic temptations compete for our children’s attention even under the best of circumstances, and these normative demands are compounded by neuro-developmental challenges such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, amongst others. Family specific crises and toxic stress can also contribute to strained executive functioning skills. We as parents and educators are responsible for helping our children learn to navigate and manage their daily affairs, and research confirms that we need to do it in different ways, at different developmental stages, throughout the lifespan.
Dr. Jason Fogler is a Staff Psychologist and Co-Director of the ADHD Program and ADHD Clinical Outcomes Workgroup in the Division of Developmental Medicine at Boston Children's Hospital. He has served on the faculty in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard and Boston University Medical Schools, and provides comprehensive neuropsychological assessments and psychological services to children, adolescents, and adults. For the last decade, he has provided psychological assessment, psychotherapy, school consultation, and parent guidance for the families of children and teens with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. On Friday mornings, he leads an educational support group for the parents of children with newly diagnosed ADHD called “ADHD Boot Camp”. He is also involved in the development of clinical practice guidelines for what has come to be known as "complex ADHD": ADHD with one or more co-occurring conditions; and he is currently researching the factors that lead to emergency room visits for kids with ADHD in order to find ways to reduce those rates.
