Executive Function Dysfunction: Why Some Children Struggle in School

Does your child have difficulty planning and completing assignments? Do you work with students who get over-whelmed with too much homework? How are written language and organizational skills related? How do executive function difficulties affect math achievement?

There are many children whose diagnostic data do not predict the difficulties they face every day in school. Many times the cause for the unexpected difficulty is a weak executive function.

This session will explain how executive function difficulties affect school achievement and how a school can help children with these challenges.
