MITM training will provide opportunities for adults to examine child development research and themselves to create strategic actions they can take to promote executive function-based skills in children ages 0-8.

Training Objectives:

1. Learn that the Life Skill of Making Connections calls on Executive Functions in order to categorize.

2. Recognize that Making Connections is central to learning because the skill underlies symbolic representation.
