Executive Functioning

Recorded on October 27, 2022 What is executive function? Executive function is a set of cognitive skills that are needed for self-control and managing behaviors. These skills include self-control, working memory, and mental flexibility. Such functions allow people to do things like follow directions, focus, control emotions, and attain goals. In this video, Brianna Wilson (occupational therapist) and Fright Moore (speech-language pathologist) from Speech Matters SLP help us navigate Executive Function, its challenges, and ways to support individuals in building executive functioning skills.
