UNDERSTANDING EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING
The hidden skills that make everyday life easier—or much harder.
Executive functioning refers to the brain’s management system. These are the skills that help us plan, organise, remember information, regulate emotions, manage time, stay focused and complete tasks.
Many of the daily challenges experienced by children with ADHD are actually executive functioning difficulties rather than behavioural problems. This session explores how executive functioning develops, why these skills are often delayed in children with ADHD, and how executive functioning challenges impact school performance, independence, emotional regulation and everyday life.
Parents and educators will gain practical strategies to support organisation, memory, planning and self-regulation while helping children develop confidence and competence.
