Executive function basics videos for parents - Children's National

The Children's National Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders (CASD) has created a series of free videos to help children with executive function challenges such as getting stuck and overwhelmed or having trouble following directions.

These short, engaging, videos and animations are designed to give practical parenting advice that can be used immediately to support a neurodivergent child's executive functions. The videos feature both parents sharing their real-life wisdom and experts giving practical ideas and easy to understand explanations.

If you have a child with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities or autism, these videos will help you reduce conflict and turns can't into can.
