- Does your child struggle to complete age-appropriate tasks that involve multiple steps?
- Is your child much more disorganized than same-age peers or siblings and/or frequently forgets things?
- Does your child have a hard time setting goals and initiating tasks?
Executive functioning skills are the mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully. These skills are like an air traffic controller at a busy airport who manages the arrivals and departures of the many aircraft on the multiple runways. Executive functions allow one to filter distractions, prioritize tasks, set and achieve goals, and control impulses. They are essential to all complex daily tasks and unable us to be able to handle the world independently.
Executive Functioning Skills include:
- Attentional control
- Inhibitory control
- Working memory
- Cognitive flexibility
- Prioritization, planning and organization
- Problem-solving
- Self-control
At Achieve Therapy Centre, our clinicians can help your child build these essential skills.
