Executive Function Skills as a whole allows us to set goals; plan how to complete a project; prioritize tasks; organize time, materials and information; shift approaches flexibly; control behaviors for task completion; and hold and manipulate information in working memory. Effective executive function skills are required for success in school and the world beyond.
Executive function continues to develop in the prefrontal cortex of the brain until at least the age of 25, often later in people with ADHD or other learning differences.
The good news is that these skills can be improved, but to affect real change – develop new habits and systems – requires weekly practice and involvement.
