Target specific high-level cognitive processes in your clients with executive function disorder with activities that can be individualized to their needs and interests.
Executive functions perform a collective service that comes into play with all facets of cognitive processing. Patients with executive function disorders have difficulty with:
- planning and organization
- identifying what needs to be done
- carrying out the steps in an orderly way
- identifying the beginning tasks
- maintaining attention
- evaluating how they're doing on a task
- taking feedback or suggestions

- information on the use of standardized and informal assessment tools to reflect the patient's real-life performance
- instruction in the use of the Patient-Initiated Continuum (PIC) to involve the patient as a stakeholder in therapy and to quantify patient improvement
- thorough explanations of the processes of time management, attention (five forms), goal-directed behavior, and memory
