This resource includes information on executive functioning and how it applies to children, adolescents & adults.
Executive functioning refers to the mental skills that help us organise, plan, start, manage, and complete everyday tasks. When these skills work differently, it doesn't mean someone is lazy or unmotivated—it means everyday tasks often require much more effort.
Executive functioning develops throughout childhood and continues to mature into early adulthood. Neurodivergent people may continue to experience executive functioning differences across their lifespan, but with understanding, accommodations, and supportive strategies, they can successfully participate in everyday life.
This resource will include information on the following areas and as how it applies to children, adolescents & adults.
Getting started - task initiation
Planning & organisation
Time management
Switching between tasks
Working memory
Attention & focus
Emotional regulation
Impulse control
