Build Executive Functioning Skills
The executive functioning skills covered include planning and goal setting, organization, time management, perseverance, working memory, flexibility, perseverance, self-control, task initiation, and attention.
To keep it simple though, this resource encourages students to build these essential skills using the FOCUZ steps.
What Does FOCUZ Stand For?
- F - FIGURE OUT YOUR MISSION: Remind yourself what your goal is.
- O - ORGANIZE AND CHUNK IT: Break down work into smaller tasks.
- C - CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF: Notice how you feel and ask yourself "Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing?"
- U - USE A FOCUS TOOL: Do something that will help you to re-focus.
- Z - ZOOM YOUR ATTENTION BACK: Return your attention back to your work.
Focus tools include various breathing, bilateral coordination, crossing the midline, gross motor and fine motor skills, and/or proprioceptive input. In addition to basic strategies such as sitting up front, getting a drink of water, using a secret signal as a reminder to get back on task, keeping desk clean and organized, and writing a list.
