Executive Functioning and Adults

Adults can struggle with getting started, planning, organizing, prioritizing, strategizing, and analyzing tasks.  It can be difficult to initiate and complete tasks within specific time limits. Challenges with executive sfunctioning can also affect social communication. Recognizing and addressing the manifestation of executive dysfunction can help adults learn procedures to improve their personal and professional effectiveness.

Social Communication and Adults

Social communication skills remain important into adulthood – in college, on the job, and in social settings. Connecting socially with others is an important part of being human and one of the special aspects that makes us different from other species. When social communication difficulties are overlooked, people may be left longing for deeper connections without knowing how to get there. Untreated concerns may lead to low self-esteem, trouble participating in social environments, depression, building relationships, arrested academic success, and can prevent career advancement.
