Technology to Support Executive Functioning [downloadable]

Executive functioning skills, which involve working memory, flexible thinking and self-monitoring, are key to learning. A child with executive functioning issues may have difficulty with prioritization, planning, and time management, understanding and following directions, or staying focused on tasks through completion.

There are strategies and supports that can help children and young adults with executive functioning challenges, including technology.

Download this helpful handout, Tech to Support Executive Functions, to learn about apps and tools that can help with organization, planning and prioritization, sustaining attention, self-monitoring, working memory, emotional regulation, and more.
