Recording: Understanding Executive Functioning (Community Gathering March 2024)

This is the recording of the Community Gathering held last March 15, 2024 on "Understanding Executive Functioning". According to Barkley, executive functioning involves two higher-order factors comprised of multiple lower-order domain skills: inhibition (e.g., ability to inhibit motor, verbal, cognitive, and emotional responses) and metacognition (e.g., nonverbal working memory, verbal working memory, planning, problem-solving, emotional self-regulation). (Research paper: “Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS): Validation in a large multisite college sample). This session was facilitated by Saskia Wenniger, co-founder Neurodiversity Education Academy and ADHD coach for Brilliantly Diverse.
