412: Rethinking Executive Functioning Skills: It is NOT about Following Directions (Executive Functioning Series)
Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET unpack why executive functioning work is about increasing a learner’s capacity—not enforcing compliance. They break down the difference between behavior that comes from pressure and behavior that comes from internal skills, and they explain why real progress happens only when learners develop planning, regulation, and flexible thinking. This episode helps Smarties understand how shifting from “Do it because I said so” to “Let’s build the skills you need” leads to independence and long-term success.
