2024 IAGC Conference

Common executive functioning (EF) problems in gifted students include frequently lost assignments, incomplete work, an inability to write papers, a lack of time management and planning, and a general disinterest in school. Typically, when these students head to college, these problems persist or become even more prevalent. This presentation will provide a background on EF deficits, describe disorders that can lead to EF challenges, address gender differences, and describe how these challenges are relevant to first-year college students.
