Executive Function

Prior to this presentation I had no idea executive function could play such a large role in turning a student/individuals life into chaos.  Not being able to connect past events to a present situation does not allow them to learn from past mistakes.  It is for this reason that interventions are needed to aid their focusing and organization.
     Apps that are as simple as the calender or the charts give them the chance to plan and keep track of their work.  These students are not only potentially disorganized, but they are often off task.  Using such things as a calm counter will allow them to get to a good place, refocus and return back to work once they are in a better place.
