Executive function refers to a set of cognitive skills that allow you to focus your attention and remember instructions. Your executive functioning links your past experiences with your present action, allowing you to learn from past events and adjust your current behaviors and emotions accordingly.
Your executive function skills give you the ability to succeed in school and work by helping you keep track of time on your assignments and sustain your attention long enough to complete your homework or work project.
You rely on your brain’s executive functioning for skills such as:
Working memory is also part of your executive function skills. This type of memory allows you to hold multiple pieces of information in your memory long enough to solve a problem, determine your next action, and participate in conversations.
Executive function therapy teaches you how to develop and use executive function skills. Your coach at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic helps you understand the importance of executive function for achieving your own goals.
Your program incorporates two components to improve your executive function skills:
This part of your program focuses on teaching you about executive function skills and identifying your current skills. Using examples from your daily life, graphics, and visual aids, you see the role each executive function skill has in your daily activities.
The second part of your therapy focuses on determining which skills are most important for you to work on, whether for academic, work, or other goals. Then your coach creates a plan that helps you reach your goals.
Your executive skill training focuses on behavioral strategies, using memory aids, time management techniques, note-taking, self-monitoring aids, daily organizers, and techniques for keeping your emotions in check. You’ll also learn how to advocate for yourself.
Your coach at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic tracks your progress and uses assessments to measure the effectiveness of your program. As your skills improve, external aids are withdrawn so you can internalize your skills.
