Research team works to show executive function and self-determination skills are critical for improving daily living activities among autistic youth transitioning to adulthood.
Executive functioning has long been a predictor of academic achievement. It comes down to goal-directed behavior and includes skills like organization, time management, and planning, or OTMP. Once children reach the upper levels of elementary school - third through fifth grade - their OTMP skills will have a significant impact on how well they perform in school.
