Executive function skills are the brain's self-management tools—responsible for how we plan, organize, remember, regulate emotions, and get things done. These essential life skills don't come automatically for all children and teens. In fact, executive functioning develops over time and varies greatly from one learner to another.
For many neurodivergent students, these skills need to be explicitly taught, practiced, and supported in everyday environments like home and homeschool settings. That’s where you come in—and that’s why we’re here. At EFM Educational Consultants, we believe that executive function skills are learned skills, and with the right tools, structure, and encouragement, all children and teens can grow in this area.
Our goal is to ensure parents—who often wear the hat of teacher, coach, and cheerleader—feel equipped and empowered to do their job with confidence and clarity.
