Executive function: The ability to keep track of assignments, organize books and materials, and manage time.

According to a 2007 joint survey, conducted by Landmark College, in association with the Association on Higher Education and Disability, a student who struggles with executive function is less likely to succeed in college than a student who cannot read.

Executive function is the cognitive process that organizes thoughts and activities, prioritizes tasks, manages time efficiently, and makes decisions. An ADD/ADHD coach can help students establish structures and strategies for managing projects and determine the actions required to move each project forward.
