Executive Function: Myth vs Fact

When you hear the phrase executive function skills, you might immediately think about ADHD. And while it's true that ADHD can impact executive functioning, the truth is these skills affect all of us, every single day. 

Here are a few common myths we hear: 

Myth #1: Executive function skills are only important if you have ADHD.

Fact: These skills are what help everyone stay on top of deadlines, manage stress, and juggle life's responsibilities.

Myth #2: You either have good executive function skills or you don't.

Fact: Executive function isn't fixed -- it's like a muscle. With the right tools and support, you can strengthen these skills at any stage of life. 

Myth #3: Getting organized just means trying harder.

Fact: Organization and focus aren't about willpower -- they're about systems, strategies, and support.

That's exactly what our Executive Function Skills group offers.
