Executive Functioning is self - regulation. The prefrontal cortex of our brain helps us to regulate our emotions, actions, thoughts, and perceptions. Foundational skills include attention, working memory and awareness, and higher-level skills including prioritizing, organizing and decision-making, for instance. Whether a student has typical executive functioning development or demonstrates executive dysfunction, everyone benefits from explicit practice in executive functioning skills to achieve their aspirations.
