A Day in the Life of a Child with Executive Functioning Issues (Understood)

Description:

Meet Josh, a sixth-grader with executive functioning issues . This doesn’t mean he isn’t smart. It means his brain’s self-management system has trouble getting organized and getting things done.

Executive functions are an important set of mental skills. To see how trouble with these skills affects kids in school and outside of it too, take a look at a typical day in Josh’s life.
