Teaching Executive Functions vs. Organizational Skills and Study Strategies

Teaching executive functions like ADHD management cannot be achieved through standard teaching methods, as it's about doing rather than knowing what to do. It's analogous to advising healthy eating for weight loss. The challenge lies in the moment-to-moment choices influenced by executive functions, making it difficult to apply strategies in real-time. However, teaching organizational skills and study strategies, often labeled as executive functions, is effective in supporting individuals.
