Why do some people find
Executive Function Skills hard?
1. A different brain map:
Scientists believe that some people just have different neural circuitry
(the pathways we talked about earlier) in their brain.
They may be great at some things, like sports, art, looking after
others or building things.
They may find other
things hard, such as
writing, holding
information in their
head or staying
focused on one thing.
Just like other parts of the human body - some people have
different eyesight and need glasses - some people do not. Our
brains are all different too.
Just like needing glasses, when
someone has problems with
Executive Function Skills, they
need things to help them
manage better.
