Executive Function Dysfunction:

Why Some Children Struggle in School 

Does your child have difficulty planning and 

completing assignments?  Do you work with 

students who get over-whelmed with too much 

homework?  How are written language and 

organizational skills related?  How do executive 

function difficulties affect math achievement?  

There are many children whose diagnostic data 

do not predict the difficulties they face every day 

in school.  Many times the cause for the 

unexpected difficulty is a weak executive 

function.   This session will explain how executive 

function difficulties affect school achievement 

and how a school can help children with these 

challenges.
