Trouble with executive function can present in different ways. Children may have challenges with learning ,retaining information, and paying attention in school. Lack of executive functioning can also impact children socially when they have trouble keeping track of their belongings or organizing their thoughts in conversation. A diagnosis of ADHD and difficulty with executive functioning overlap, which makes paying attention, following directions, and managing one’s time a struggle.
