What are Executive Functioning Skills ?
Executive functions are a collection of cognitive abilities and self-regulatory processes that help us achieve goals through problem-solving. Some individuals may have difficulty following multiple tasks, planning several steps ahead to stay organized or self-monitoring to control impulses. These issues can be common with some learning differences associated with autism, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, and neuropsychological disorders. We work with both adults trying to find ways to better manage their personal and/or work environment, and teen or young adult students in secondary and University settings.
These affected functions include:
Metacognition | Working Memory & Processing
Focusing attention to discern information and then remembering and manipulating working memory.
Organization | Priority & Planning
Determining the order of tasks to complete on-time, and creating strategic approaches.
Control | Self-Monitoring & Regulation
Managing behavior, attention and emotions and regulate based on knowledge and acceptance of past actions or mistakes.
