Executive Functioning Part 1, with Barrow Neurological Institute
In this module, we discuss each part of executive functions. Executive function refers to higher-level thinking skills that allow us to perform complex tasks and think on a more abstract level. They encompass what we generally refer to as “thinking.” Executive functions include setting goals; planning, organization, and sequencing; mental flexibility; initiation and follow-through (starting and finishing at task); time management; and problem-solving and reasoning.

Attention: With the Brains Club from Barrow Neurological Institute
Join us for an engaging workshop focused on understanding the key factors that affect our ability to pay attention!
Attention is the first stage of memory and therefore, is a very important part of thinking function. In the Attention session, we discuss the different types of attention, why attention is so important, common attention problems following a brain injury, factors that can influence the ability to pay attention, and strategies to compensate for attention difficulties.
Interactive tasks will help illustrate each type of attention and give you a chance to explore and identify effective compensatory strategies.
