Managing ADHD & Executive Functions

WHAT ARE EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS?

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses and each person needs to understand their individual learning style. Executive functions are a set of cognitive processes that have a significant impact on one’s ability to regulate emotions and behavior. These functions also help us to learn and complete tasks efficiently and effectively. Cognitive regulation involves metacognitive skills that help us control our attention, working memory,  task initiation, prioritizing, planning, shifting, task monitoring, and organization.

Executive function coaching teaches lifelong learning & thinking skills to empower people to find strategies to help them. Executive Function Coaching helps individuals learn how to organize, plan, prioritize, manage time, maintain focus, self-assess, and study efficiently. In other words, to take control and learn ways to compensate for their weaknesses. Improving cognitive regulatory skills will make them more efficient and productive and help them to excel in school, work and in life. People who learn these skills are better equipped to navigate the challenges of school and adult life.
