What are Executive Function Skills? The basics . . .

What are executive function skills and how they do impact my child?

Executive function skills help us plan, organize, focus, stay self-regulated/emotionally regulated, problem solve and allow us to adapt to new or unexpected situations during our day to day interactions.

When a child struggles with executive function skills, it can impact their ability to engage in school with adequate focus and processing, develop and maintain friendships and have flexibility with transitions and the day to day challenges.
