What is executive function disorder?
An inefficiency in the cognitive management systems of the brain that affects a variety of neuropsychological processes such as planning, organizing, strategizing, paying attention to and remembering details, and managing time and space. Although not a learning disability, different patterns of weakness in executive functioning are almost always seen in the learning profiles of individuals who have specific learning disabilities or ADHD. As a school for ADHD, executive function disorder, and other learning differences, we understand the unique needs that each child has and are committed to meeting those needs.

How do I know if my child may have executive function disorder?
A psychoeducational evaluation to discover and diagnosis any learning difference is strongly recommended. Doing this early in a child’s educational career can allow you to make informed decisions about your child’s education and make the decision to either keep them in their current classroom situation or find a school that better caters to their needs.
