Executive function (EF) skills in young children are linked to school achievement and social-emotional development, making EF skill building vitally important for all students in elementary school. Educators need to have a clear understanding of executive function and the impact of EF deficits on student performance so that they can detect and address EF weaknesses as early as possible, thereby better preparing students for the transition to middle school. This reference guide provides practical strategies to support and strengthen the developing EF skills of all elementary students, as well as key scaffolds and accommodations that help students with ADHD and others with EF impairments (learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder) succeed in school and beyond.

  • Controlled attention
  • Self-control and inhibition
  • Handing negative emotions
  • Memory and forgetfulness
