    Executive function challenges come up quite often; this is a nice overview of many aspects of EF deficits, how they might play out in a school-age child, and what parents can do to support them:

    There are also some other resources for EF on adjacent pages of this NCLD website.

    Thanks aeh - a nice comprehensive overview. I found the social deficits section particularly interesting, as I had not related our challenges in that area to our notable executive function gaps!

    Thanks for sharing, aeh. It's interesting to read about the different aspects of life EF affects. Our family deals with quite a few of these (and...not just the kids!)
