Using Technology as a Compensatory Technique for Executive Function Skill Deficits during the Coaching Process
Anderson, Kiera; Marino, Matthew T.
Journal of Special Education Technology, v38 n4 p539-546 2023
Enrollment rates of students with disabilities (SWD) in postsecondary education continue to rise, yet SWD continue to face challenges with persistence toward degree completion. Executive function deficits (e.g., difficulty concentrating, managing time, problem solving, or planning) often impact academic, social, and occupational function. Academic and social adjustment to the complexity of life beyond students' homes can be stressful, further exacerbating difficulties with executive function skills necessary for postsecondary success. Coaching can assist young adults during postsecondary education to enhance executive function skills and has the potential to reduce stress and anxiety. Coaching is a collaborative, client-centered process designed to elicit client identification of goal areas, increase self-awareness, and problem-solving solutions. This practitioner article explores executive function skills, coaching, and how technology can be used within the coaching process to support executive function deficits for students in the postsecondary environment.
