Supporting Students - Executive Function
This week I joined over one hundred other Classroom Support Teachers to learn about Executive Functions through Positive Partnerships.
Executive functions are skills performed by our brain that help us to control and manage our thoughts and actions. Having the skills to organise and plan, shift attention, be flexible with thinking and self-regulate can all have an impact on how a young person copes with daily tasks.
If you would like to know more about each function follow this link: https://www.positivepartnerships.com.au/uploads/PDF-files/Web_Visual-Executive-Functioning-Aug2020.pdf
Ways we can support children’s executive function:
- Remind them of changes in routines
- Find out what visuals work for them
- Use interests to engage them
- Receiving rewards for jobs well done
- 1:1 help from an adult
- Allowing them to take a break and having time away from others
