Neurodiversity & Executive Functioning Skills

Executive functions are a collection of cognitive abilities and self-regulatory processes that help us achieve goals through problem-solving.  These skills are crucial for daily life, learning, and overall success.  

Some individuals may have difficulty:

• following multiple tasks 
• planning several steps ahead to stay organized 
• 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 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. 

Specific affected functions include:

Focusing attention to discern information and then remembering and manipulating working memory.

Determining the order of tasks to complete on-time, and creating strategic approaches.

Managing behavior, attention and emotions and regulate based on knowledge and acceptance of past actions or mistakes.
