Executive Functioning

Most children do not receive explicit instruction in the three key components of executive functioning: working memory, cognitive flexibility (aka flexible thinking), and inhibitory control (i.e. attention, self-control & regulation). For children who are developing differently, mastering these abilities can even be more challenging. Therefore, it is crucial to seamlessly integrate the teaching of these essential skills into our sessions.

How Maya Can Help

Talk to Maya offers specialized speech-language therapy services to help children improve their executive functioning skills. Maya will teach your child the organizational strategies and tools that will positively impact all areas of their lives. Maya has assisted numerous clients in honing these essential abilities, which grow increasingly vital as they age. Ideally suited for clients aged 7 and above, these strategies support greater autonomy in both academic and social realms. Mastering self-organization, recognizing personal strengths and weaknesses, and knowing when to pause or take a deep breath are all invaluable, yet often overlooked skills that can profoundly enhance our children’s lives for years to come.
