Executive Functioning Challenges (EFCs)

Sometimes behavior is the first indicator that someone needs Executive Function support. Keep in mind that these behaviors indicate a lack of skill, not a lack of ability! The observable behaviors are symptoms of a need, not inherent traits.

This is a graphic organizer outlining observational or anecdotal evidence of Executive Functioning Challenges. There are four light blue boxes, each with black text in them. They say, "Unmotivated, Undirected, or 'Lazy'," "Inflexible, Impulsive, or Indecisive," "Disorganized and/or Frazzled," and "Forgetful, Unprepared, or Distracted."
