YT67. Executive Functioning - It's Not About Goal Setting, Planning, and Homework Anymore


Listen Later

In this episode, I welcome back Dr. Deborah Budding and Dr. Laura Flores Shaw to talk about the executive functioning chapter that they just published. They shed light on how to properly think about executive functioning, explain what top down/bottom up processes are, and explore the potentially oppressive nature of contexts, expectations, and environments on people's performance and functioning.

WHO I AM:  I'm Dr. Gwen, a neurotypical psychologist who's been supporting the neurodiverse community for over 25 years. I'm laser-focused (and borderline obsessed) about empowering this community through reliable knowledge, creativity, and skill-building. I love curating and collecting tools, sharing mindsets, and promoting habits to help the neurodiverse community thrive and find joy and meaning in their lives.
