Page 14 - Strength Based Approach to Executive Function Skills DRAFT

Difficulties

It may be that the skills that we will be exploring in this book

(those Executive Function Skills we mentioned on page 11 & 12)

are the things you find hardest.

That’s tough because we need these skills a lot of the time – at

home and at school.

You may be one of the unlucky ones: the things you find easy may

be the kinds of things you do not spend much time doing at school

– building, sports, climbing, gaming, drawing or designing.

That can end up leaving us feeling as if we aren’t that

capable – even though we have loads of strengths.
