Executive Function Skills are a major focus today in helping twice exceptional students be successful both in school and in their nonacademic lives. Indeed, there are many venues where parents and educators can learn strategies to help students become more aware and independent in their learning. The critical issue is students’ willingness to learn, practice, and apply these skills. Much evidence supports the notion that many of these skills can be developed through enrichment and talent development where students’ own drive, enthusiasm, and intrinsic motivation energized will discuss this process and provide illustrative examples.
