Join Beth Bergstrom, MS, CCC-SLP, and Trina Becker, MS, CCC-SLP, for a hands-on look at a real pediatric case involving executive dysfunction. Through guided discussion and clinical reasoning, they’ll review the case history and assessment data to identify underlying factors and determine what’s driving the child’s challenges.

You’ll learn how to build a clear profile of strengths, needs, and functional impact to set meaningful treatment priorities. The presenters will also model how to use client values, clinical judgment, and research to select the most effective treatment approach, resulting in a personalized and functional plan that supports lasting progress in executive function skills.
