Executive functioning is like the air traffic controller of the brain, managing cognitive processes like attention, planning, and organization to achieve goals and navigate daily life successfully.
Executive Functioning encompasses nine skills
Sustaining Attention
Emotional Regulation
Impulse Control
Task Initiation
Planning
Organization
Working Memory
Self-Monitoring
Cognitive Flexibility
If you or your child struggle with following directions, staying focused on tasks, regulating emotions, starting tasks independently, organization, or time management, it may be due to deficits in executive functioning. I am trained in assessing for executive functioning skills and can provide personalized recommendations to support executive functioning as part of a comprehensive psychoeducational assessment.
