Executive functioning refers to a set of core cognitive processes, including:<\/p>\n
Sustained Attention (“Staying with it”):<\/b> The ability to focus on a task for an extended period without distraction, boredom, or fatigue. Individuals with ADHD often struggle to maintain focus and\u2014critically\u2014find it difficult to recover once a distraction has pulled them away. Resuming focus requires tremendous effort and energy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Response Inhibition:<\/b> The ability to control impulses, think before acting, pace actions, and filter out distractions. A lack of response inhibition can show up subtly as impulsive reading (skipping words or rushing to guess a multiple-choice answer) or conversational habits like interrupting and blurting out thoughts before someone finishes speaking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Planning & Organisation:<\/b> Setting goals, outlining tasks, and structuring daily activities efficiently.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Task Initiation & Follow-Through:<\/b> Breaking down large projects into manageable steps to overcome procrastination and maintain momentum.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Time Management:<\/b> Allocating time effectively and consistently meeting deadlines.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Working Memory:<\/b> Holding and manipulating key information over short periods.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Self-Regulation & Flexibility:<\/b> Managing emotions and impulses while adapting to changing priorities and new situations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Goal Setting:<\/b> Partnering with a coach to define and achieve academic or personal milestones, building long-term confidence and self-reliance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ custom_margin=”||-2px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n (Image source: OT4ADHD)<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/spot.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Executive-Skills-Pyramid.jpeg” title_text=”Screenshot” align=”right” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” width=”80%” max_width=”80%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_margin=”4px|4px|4px|4px|false|false” custom_padding=”4px|4px|4px|4px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Children and teenagers face constant demands as they navigate school, friendships, and expanding responsibilities.
