This is for students who have taken an executive function class before, preferably at THE. No semester will be the same as each class will be catered to the students in the class. What will be the same is we will be using executive functions and applying them to the students’ lives. Whether it’s managing time, staying organized, setting goals, handling stress, or making decisions, this class focuses on strategies that support independence, productivity, and personal growth.
