3. Executive Functioning is a set of mental processes that helps us connect past experience with present action. These are skills and processes each of us use everyday to:
- Make plans
- Keep track of time and finish work on time
- Keep track of more than one thing at once
- Evaluate ideas and reflect on our work
- Ask for help or seek more information when we need it
- Engage in group dynamics
- Wait to speak until we’re called on
If you child struggles with these things, there are ways to help. To learn more download the free e-book “Executive Functioning 101” http://www.ncld.org/images/content/wp-content/uploads/sites/71/executive-function-101-ebook.pdf
