Executive Dysfunction
Children (and adults!) who have weaker executive function skills struggle with the many, if not all, the symptoms noted here. However, through the development of these skills, students can learn to be successful academically, socially, and emotionally. With the assistance of an executive functioning coach, our students learn how to reinforce strengths and develop methods to foster the growth of weaker executive functioning skills, which are necessary to navigate the classroom and beyond.
Focusing too Much on Just One Thing
Daydreaming or Spacing Out When Shouldn't Be
Trouble Starting Difficult or Boring Tasks
Being Easily Distractable
Struggling to Switch Focus and/or move Between Tasks
Problems with Impulse Control
