Executive functioning and social-emotional learning are foundational skills that can be intentionally taught and strengthened, continuing to develop well into a person’s mid-20s. E3 Consulting’s Academic Specialists, Alethea Goodyear and Chloe Melvin, advocate for a supportive, proactive approach. They encourage parents and educators to explicitly model their own thinking processes, break complex tasks into manageable steps, and thoughtfully address the developmental needs that often underlie challenging behaviors. https://www.ethreeconsulting.com/
