Problems you prevent (or mitigate) when using Executive Functions

1.Improved academic performance: Identifying students' executive functions helps better understand their cognitive processes, allowing for the implementation of specific educational strategies to address difficulties and enhance academic achievement.


2.Identification of specific learning needs: Assessing executive functions provides detailed insights into students' cognitive abilities, facilitating the recognition of specific learning and academic development needs.


3.More effective interventions: By gathering information from multiple sources (student, family, and teacher), a more comprehensive understanding of the student’s difficulties is achieved, enabling the design of more effective and personalised interventions.


4.Reducing academic stress: A better understanding of students’ executive capacities allows for the implementation of strategies to help them manage academic stress and improve their ability to plan, organise, and complete school tasks effectively.
