EP236: Executive Function & ADHD: What Parents Need To Know


Listen Later

Struggling with motivation, time management, or emotional outbursts? It might not be what you think. In this episode, we will unpack the real impact of executive function and why it matters more than ever. Tune in to learn what’s really going on behind the behavior, and what parents can do differently starting today.

What to expect in this episode:

  • Why executive function affects everything we think, feel, and do 
  • Why medication doesn’t actually solve executive function issues and what can help instead
  • How to understand the difference between remediation and accommodation at home and in school 
  • What self-accommodation really looks like and how to help kids build it 
  • Why it's important to support executive function at home and not just rely on IEPs
