Executive Function Training
Many children and adults have problems with homework, work projects or daily activities not because they lack intelligence but because they have weak executive skills. These refer to skills required to plan/prioritize and carry out tasks: time management, working memory, organizational skills, task initiation, follow through, task initiation, response inhibition, self-regulation of affect sustained attention, goal directed persistence and metacognition.
Rebecca will meet with you, review previous testing if any, and do a brief assessment of executive functioning and where you get stuck. Goals are prioritized and strategies are applied to existing projects and/or homework. Out-sourcing to select specialists may necessary for certain tasks. Parents, partners/ spouses are encouraged to participate. Contact Rebecca Shafir M.A.CCC at 781 864 0180 for more information.
