You’ve probably heard the word Executive Functioning before…but what exactly does it mean?

Executive Functioning is a set of mental processes that allows us to think about short-term and long-term consequences. With the end result in mind, we can plan, initiate, organize, evaluate, and adjust our actions.

Signs of Executive Functioning Deficits include difficulties with:

• Planning long-term problems
• Understanding the passage of time
• Initiating projects or generating ideas independently
• Prioritizing the most important task
• Physical organization of materials for school or work
• Problem solving
