Cognitive Control: ADHD & Dyslexia
April 30 @ 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm EDT
Given the brain’s vertical organization, motor functioning is foundational for both brain development and cognitive control. Even mild delays in motor development and procedural learning can be risk factors for neurodevelopmental disorders. This webinar will explore the proposed link between implicit memory, motor development, executive functioning, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and dyslexia, and offer suggestions for evaluation.
This webinar will be recorded and available for LDA Members to watch later.
