Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast series by Attitude Magazine.

Hello, everyone. I'm Carol Fleck, and on behalf of the Attitude team, I'm pleased to welcome you to today's ADHD expert's

presentation titled How to Manage Executive Function and Working Memory Challenges, a guide

for adults with ADHD.

Leading today's presentation is Dr. Peg Dawson.

Dr. Dawson received her doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Pennsylvania,

of Virginia, excuse me, from the University of Virginia.

She was a school psychologist and worked at the Center for Learning and Attention Disorders,

assessing children and adults.

She has authored many books, including one for adults,

seeking to strengthen their executive functioning skills. It's called the smart but scattered

guide to success. No one is born with executive function skills, but just about everyone can learn

them. Executive function skills help us to manage everyday tasks, such as planning ahead,

setting and following through on goals, managing time, remembering information, and managing

emotions.

As we know all too well, many people with ADHD have weak executive function skills, and that can make life even more challenging and stressful.

In today's webinar, we'll learn about the strategies that adults can use to improve their executive function skills and get things done.
