Are you familiar with ADHD or executive functioning issues? Both can make life and driving more difficult for your child, but it doesn’t mean they can’t safely operate a vehicle — they just need a driving program tailored to their needs.
While most people are familiar with ADHD, executive functioning issues do exist and impact many children and adults. While executive functioning issues is not an official diagnosis, it can make seemingly easy tasks seem daunting. Executive functioning issues cause weaknesses in attention span, time management and organization.
Symptoms of Executive Functioning Issues:
- Short attention span
- Lack of self-control to varying degrees
- Trouble managing emotions
- Memory recall issues
- Disorganization
- Emotionally driven responses
- Impatience
