Abstract:
This meta-analysis will examine the effectiveness of executive function interventions for struggling learners and students with disabilities. Executive functions encompass a set of cognitive processes responsible for goal-directed behavior, self-regulation, and problem-solving skills. Struggling learners and individuals with disabilities often face challenges in these domains, leading to academic difficulties and impaired daily functioning. Studies that address executive functioning and include academic outcomes will be included. Implications for teachers will be discussed.
