Executive Functioning Skills
Executive Functioning Support for Children and Adolescents
Executive functioning skills help children start tasks, organize materials, follow steps, and adjust when plans change. Continuity OT supports these skills within meaningful activities and familiar routines.
Together, we can explore practical tools such as visual schedules, checklists, environmental adjustments, and guided practice to support your child’s participation.
Everyday examples
• Getting started on a task
• Following a morning or homework routine
• Packing materials needed for school
• Breaking a larger activity into manageable steps
• Practicing flexibility when an activity changes
Occupational therapy plays a crucial role in supporting and developing executive functioning skills. We work with individuals to identify their specific challenges and create personalized interventions to improve these skills. OT interventions may include: strategies and tools, environmental modifications, skill-building activities, sensory strategies, real-life application.
