Join Free →Executive functioning (EF) isn't a single trait—it's a set of teachable repertoires (e.g., initiation, working memory, inhibition, planning, time management, self-monitoring) that drive day-to-day independence. This 60-minute CEU clarifies what EF skills are in observable, measurable terms; why behavior analysts need to understand their complexity to avoid mislabeling "won't" as "can't yet"; and how to program for them using task analysis, antecedent design, error-reduction, and prompt fading that ends in self-management.
