Why Executive Function Is A Vital Stepping-Stone For Kids’ Ability to Learn

Good morning,

Today we are sharing an important article from KQED News about how children learn and their ability to be able to learn.

"Neuroscientists and educational psychologists are constantly learning more about how children learn and the various influences beyond IQ that affect cognition.'

'At the same time, critics have pushed back against the notion that students underperform only because of cognitive deficits, pointing to an equally pressing need for big changes to teaching practice. Many teachers are trying to combine the research about cognitive skills with more effective teaching practices. They are finding that whether students are working on self-directed projects or worksheets, executive functioning skills are important."

At Linder Educational Coaching, we recognize how important executive functioning is for a child's ability to learn. Not only that but we specialize in helping children with ADD, ADHD, other LDs, behavioral issues and problems with executive functioning. If you are a parent and feel that your child needs help with their ability to learn and recognize certain influences that could be hindering that, please contact us! We are here to help your child succeed!
