Executive Functions

Executive Functions are those skills which allow us to apply what we know and to manage our everyday tasks. Many children and adults struggle with organization, planning, homework completion and working toward long term goals.

As a parent, do you find yourself exasperated when your child does their homework but loses it or has great ideas but cannot get them down on paper? Are they successful on a task one day but unable to follow through on the next? This can be frustrating for everyone concerned. Some children and adolescents may experience executive functioning difficulties in addition to ADHD or Learning Disabilities.

Through proper assessment, I can identify executive functioning weaknesses and work with children and adults to understand these challenges and develop effective strategies to manage life.
