Intro
Chris Fugelsang CEO and Founder of Exceptional Path. Chris has a passion for helping students with executive functioning delays, this passion stems from his own experience. Executive functions are the brain skills needed to plan, organize, prioritize, manage time, get started, and stay focused.
Chris was always a good student but he found he was often forgetful, disorganized, and scattered that's when he decided to commit himself to becoming a better learner and figure out how his brain works. He believes that the school expects children to know and apply the content but never taught the skills that children needed to acquire it. It was this discovery that sparked his desire to help kids with unique learning profiles.
Top three takeaways
Executive Functioning is the right fit for your child.
With strong executive functioning we're more able to complete tasks, juggle a few different ideas in mind at a time, be flexible with our thinking, and manage our emotions when things don't go as planned.
How executive functioning skills are more important now than ever.
