Executive Functioning Skills at Riverview School
DESK BEFORE

Executive Functioning Skills are directly taught and reinforced across academic, residential and community settings at Riverview School.
This year, one of the focuses of the Language and Social Development Department was to better support our students in strengthening the underlying executive functioning needs that are critical for everyday activities.
In order to do this effectively, academic and residential staff participated in trainings to ensure that we are intentional with our approaches and consistent with our language. In a short amount of time, we have been able to accomplish so many exciting things!
- Classroom / Vocational: Students have gained a better understanding time concepts and elapsed time.
- Dorms: Systems were implemented to promote more independence with room care and organization.
- Community: The students are generalizing skills, as well as planning and budgeting.
At Riverview, we strive to empower our students with the skills they will need to be more independent in the world. This important work will bring them one step closer to achieving this independence.
