LDAYR Summer Workshop Series for Parents
Executive Functions are the brain processes that enable us to regulate the world around us, utilizing organizational and higher-order learning skills. Research demonstrates that Executive Function is a better predictor of school performance than a student’s IQ. Development of these skills are essential for success in school and later in life.
