| Executive function is a set of skills that allow people to plan for short- and long-term goals, make adjustments to meet those goals, manage time effectively, remember what they’ve heard and read, and exhibit self-control. In many people with ADHD, executive function doesn’t work as it should because the parts of the brain that control these skills are impacted by ADHD — but there are strategies you can employ to improve these skills.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- About the cognitive skills that define executive function
- About the brain-based mechanisms that cause many people with ADHD to have weak executive function skills
- How working memory difficulties can manifest in workplace settings, social interactions, and personal organization
- Whether these challenges evolve with age
- About practical strategies and interventions to enhance executive function and working memory
