Michelle Gaudet, M.Ed, LABA, owner of Purposeful Connections,  will be presenting on Executive Function to parents and staff at Fusion Academy in Newton on Thursday, April 3rd from 6:00-7:30pm. *The term executive functions is defined as a set of skills that act in a coordinated way to direct perception, emotion, thought and action. Executive functions control a person’s ability to engage in purposeful, organized, strategic, self-regulated and goal directed behavior. More plainly stated executive functions give the commands to engage. They direct or cue the engagement of other mental processes that we use to perceive, feel, think and act. It is your inner dialogue, or ability to use self-talk, that is involved with many skills, including the ability to interact socially with others, manage time and get to where you need to be with the materials needed, and the ability to be able to think about your own thinking and actions.
