Executive Functioning Skills in Children/Adults: Part Two

Executive Functioning skills comprise of key processes to enable us all towards independent, purposeful, goal-directed behavior. These skills are the foundation for life-long functioning. Many individuals with neurodiversity, and diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder and/or attention deficit disorder, for example, experience difficulties with these skills.
