Executive functions are skills that children and adults use in everyday life. These are skills that encourage autonomy and successful growth in children. To help parents understand if their child has issues with executive functions, the infographic offers eight areas in which a child may be impaired. The first criterion is impulse control that is, whether or not the child can think before acting. Children who often overreact may have poor emotional control. Another criterion is flexible thinking. A healthy child should be able to roll with the punches and adjust to the unexpected. The fourth criterion is working memory how well a child can remember directions or instructions. Number five is self-monitoring. If a child is often surprised by a grade or cannot estimate their proficiency, they may have an issue. Children with executive function disorders may have trouble with task initiation not knowing where to start when given a job to do. Finally, number eight is organizational skills, which is basically how neat the child is.

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
