#61: Flipping Disabilities into Abilities and the Impact on Executive Functioning

In this episode of the Executive Function Brain Trainer podcast, hosts Darius and Erica offer an exploration into redefining the term “disability”. With empathy and professional insight, they explore the definitions of disability provided by the ADA and the Equality Act 2010. They challenge the traditional view of 'disability', advocating for a more inclusive understanding of cognitive diversity. The episode is enriched with compelling stories to highlight the unique gifts that emerge from thinking differently. This conversation serves as a heartfelt affirmation that what are often seen as weaknesses can be significant strengths, celebrating the creativity, problem-solving skills, and compassion inherent in embracing cognitive diversity.Links: Developmental dyslexia essential to human adaptive success, study argues: https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/developmental-dyslexia-essential-to-human-adaptive-success-study-argues The 12 Ways of Processing: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/different-ways-of-learningDisability (Americans with Disabilities Act): https://adata.org/faq/what-definition-disability-under-ada Disability (Equality Act 2010): https://www.gov.uk/definition-of-disability-under-equality-act-2010 Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes  Executive Functioning and Study Skills Course: ⁠⁠https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies⁠⁠ Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function EF Coaching with Darius:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.ivvi.app/coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠EF Student Coaching with Erica:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://learningtolearn.biz/⁠⁠⁠⁠ EF Adult Coaching with Erica:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://dropintoyourbestself.com/coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠ Brought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/www.learningtolearn.biz

#47: Medication and Executive Functions

In this episode, Erica and Darius explore the topic of medication as a supportive tool for enhancing executive functions such as inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. With special focus on ADHD, dyslexia, and other conditions that influence executive skills, they explore:The role of stimulant medications like Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) and Amphetamines (Adderall, Vyvanse) in optimizing neurotransmitter levels for better focus and impulse control.Alternative non-stimulant options, such as Atomoxetine (Strattera) and Guanfacine (Intuniv), and how they may be suitable for those who don't respond well to stimulants.Potential roles of supplements and dietary changes in enhancing cognitive functioning.Remember, medication is not a one-size-fits-all solution and should always be considered after exploring other options and as part of a broader treatment plan. Consult your healthcare provider to tailor the best course of action for you or your loved ones.Links:Executive Functioning Remedial Assessment: https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?type=product&q=EFCA One-to-one sessions with Dr. Warren:https://learningtolearn.biz/ One-to-one sessions with Darius:www.ivvi.appBulletMap Academy:https://bulletmapacademy.com/Learning Specialist Courses:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/Executive Functions and Study Skills Course:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies Good Sensory Learning:https://goodsensorylearning.com/Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes  Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Inhibitory Control:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioningVisualization:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learningInner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-appWorking Memory:https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/www.learningtolearn.bizhttps://dropintoyourbestself.com/
