What are Executive Functioning Skills?
ADHD isn’t just about attention and focus. In fact, many students with ADHD do not struggle with focusing. Individuals with ADHD struggle with the executive functions of the brain.
Executive function refers to the cognitive skills we use to plan, organize, and manage our tasks and behaviors, allowing us to achieve goals and adapt to new situations. It's essentially the brain's "control panel" for higher-level thinking, enabling us to set goals, focus attention, and regulate our actions.
The good news is that executive functioning skills can be learned.
Executive functioning coaching enables students to build the necessary skills in these areas so that they can thrive not only in school, but in all aspects of their lives.
