Executive Functioning

Planning, focusing, remembering instructions and juggling tasks all come down to executive functioning, a set of mental skills that takes time to develop. While it's still developing, getting started, staying organised and finishing what we begin can be a daily struggle.

What it can look like

• Difficulty starting tasks or knowing where to begin
• Forgetting instructions, belongings or steps in a routine
• Getting overwhelmed by multi-step or open-ended tasks
• Trouble shifting plans when things change

How we can help

We put practical systems in place, like visual routines, checklists, timers and step-by-step strategies, to make daily tasks more manageable. We build these skills in ways that transfer to home, school and independence over time.
