What are cognitive skills?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Executive functions have been a common topic within the scientific field in the past 2 decades. They are lower cognitive processes, but at the same time are crucial for academic achievements, math skills, social skills and overall success in life.

Executive functions allow for thought before action, acquainting oneself with the new, dealing with unforeseen challenges, maintaining attention, standing in one place for a specific amount of time.

Executive functions training includes tasks which are fun for children and are based on scientific research within the field.

The overall duration of executive functions trainings is based on the individual capabilities and needs of the child. Periodically during the training, but also at the parent's request, the level of the child's progress is assessed. Based on this, recommendations are given with regards to either continuing or terminating the trainings.

The trainings take place in weekly individual sessions with the child, lasting 50 minutes each.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
