Executive functioning, the cognitive skills encompassing planning, organization, prioritization and task execution, is the backbone of one's ability to navigate daily challenges. It influences individuals' academic performance, as well as their ability to regulate emotions, control impulses, and make sound decisions.
Discussions surrounding executive functions often revolve around special education students, particularly those with conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Dr. Dawn Matera, an esteemed educator with over three decades of experience in the field, asserts that executive function difficulties are not confined to a specific group.
