Executive Functions Module

The Executive Functions module of the Brainwave-R program consists of a fully printable therapist workbook and client workbook that contains up to 4 weeks of exercises that involve the client working 1 to 2 hours a day, 5 days a week, with exercises aimed at optimizing functional skill development through education, training on basic cognitive skills, generalization, and strategy training.
