Class Experience

We can learn executive function skills that help us in daily life. They are the basis for so many things we do! Executive function skills enable us to plan, organize, start, and follow through with all tasks. These include things we do for school and fun. 

In this flex class format, there are no live meetings. Each new week begins with a short paper-based self-assessment; as part of the workbook, with weekly lesson recordings and tasks to complete. Tasks include playing games, completing individualized projects, and answering discussion questions.  

Who would benefit from improving their executive function skills? Everyone! We are never too old or too accomplished to be interested in enhancing these skills. Getting and staying organized, planning for long-term goals, and dealing with change are just a few examples of things we get better at when we work on these skills.
