September 9, 2011

Princeton, NJ, September 9, 2011 — Sarah Ward, M.S., CCC/SLP will be returning to the Princeton area on October 27, 2011 to present her professional workshop, Executive Function Skills: Cutting Edge Approached to Practical Interventions Working with Children and Adolescents. Sponsored by Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Greater Mercer County and the Princeton Speech-Language & Learning Center, Ward will be presenting at Rider University from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

What are Executive Function skills? According to Ward’s website, www.executivefunctiontherapy.com, they are “…the core set of cognitive skills required for planning, completing and evaluating the completion of tasks, as well as overseeing our communication exchanges.” The workshop is geared towards a wide variety of professionals in the education and mental health fields, as well as interested parents. Continuing education credits are offered through NASW, ASHA and NJEA.

Sarah Ward has over 14 years of experience in diagnostic evaluations, treatment and case management of children, adolescents and adults with a wide range of developmental and acquired brain based learning difficulties and behavioral problems. Her particular interest is in the assessment and treatment of executive function deficits. Ward previously presented her workshop in the area this past April, and received a tremendous positive response. Among many testimonials, one participant stated, “She was great! I am an LDTC and have a 19 year old Asperger’s child and a 17 year old ADHD child. This is the first time a workshop has tied together all the parts!”
