What is executive functioning?
The executive functions are a set of processes that all have to do with managing oneself and one's resources in order to achieve a goal. It is an umbrella term for the neurologically-based skills involving mental control and self-regulation.
How does it affect us in speech?
I have teachers who come to me with a kid that is having difficulty but they just can't put their finger on the problem. He doesn't pay attention, he has difficulty following directions, etc. Well Exec. Fun could be the answer.
I am no expert but I did go and find a few resources to help on TPT
If you do have some concerns with a kids- go see your OT for a little help!
