The Role of Executive Functions in Classroom Instruction of Students with Learning Disabilities

Abstract

In this article, we describe executive functions and their role in determining student academic success.We focus on the executive function difficulties of students with learning disabilities and explain how executive dysfunctions can negatively affect different academic areas (e.g., reading comprehension, mathematics).Finally, we offer ways teachers can modify their instruction to better address the diverse needs of students with learning disabilities who are struggling to perform various academic tasks.
