Event Groups:
• Greene County Educational Service Center - Professional Development
Description:
Executive Functioning abilities (EF) are the foundation for school and life success, yet many students struggle to use these attention-regulation skills to sustain attention, control impulses, regulate emotions, keep information in mind, and learn from their experiences. EF deficits underlie most of the academic, social, emotional and behavioral problems we are experiencing in our schools today. EF deficits are common for people who have experienced trauma because maltreatment damages the brain in the areas responsible for attention-regulation processes. This workshop aims to help school staff to be more aware and responsive to EF deficits, employ strategies to help build EF skills, understand the role of trauma on brain development, and create trauma-informed classrooms and schools.

Presenter: Timothy J. Callahan, Psy.D. is the Director of Mental Health Services for the Greene County Educational Service Center. He received his doctorate in clinical psychology from Wright State University School of Professional Psychology in 1989, and his undergraduate degree from Baylor University in 1985. He has worked extensively with children, teens and adults in variety of settings. Dr. Callahan is a co-author of 2009 Wounded Children, Healing Homes and was a contributing author for the 2008 Whole Life Adoption Book; both books focus on child maltreatment. He was previously Chief of Psychology for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections, and clinical director for a large youth serving community mental health agency.
