Are you concerned about your child’s attention skills or ability to follow directions? Does your child seem to lose or forget things easily? What about emotional or social challenges that impact everyday experiences? If any of these apply, then this episode might be for you!
Join Erica and Cassie as we continue this two-part series on “praxis.” This time we’re focusing on executive function—skills that are critical for independent living and adulthood. In this episode, we will unpack:
- What are executive function skills?
- When and how do executive function skills develop?
- When is it time to seek a professional about our concerns?
- Tips and strategies for supporting executive function for your child (or student).
