[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The psych eval ruled out ADHD but said to monitor as she progresses in MS. The psychologist did say that the jury was still out on Executive Functioning. DD was however diagnosed with an auditory processing disorder and I haven't cracked the nut on how to support her there. I have struggled with the IEP team to support her here as well. [/quote] Working memory is actually a critical component of executive functioning. It isn’t raw intelligence per se, instead it is part of the organizational set up that allows one to apply that raw intelligence to tasks. It is, however, entirely separate from attention and impulse control, and maybe that is what the psych was referring to in terms of executive function. There are other components as well, of course. But working memory is an executive function.[/quote]
