Executive Function Deficit

Executive Function Deficit refers to difficulties with the mental skills needed for planning, organizing, problem-solving, managing time, and controlling impulses. These skills, called executive functions, help you initiate tasks, stay focused, switch between activities, and remember important information. When someone has an executive function deficit, they might struggle with staying organized, completing tasks on time, or managing their emotions, despite having the ability to understand and learn. It's often linked to conditions like ADHD or brain injury, but can also occur without an obvious cause, affecting daily life and decision-making.
