A study published in the Journal of Learning Disabilities found that students with ADHD who received targeted interventions to improve executive functioning skills through their IEP goals showed significant improvements in their working memory, organization, and time management skills.

Another study published in the Journal of Special Education found that when executive functioning skills were included in IEP goals for students with learning disabilities, they were more likely to achieve academic success and develop better self-regulation skills than students who did not receive this support.

Furthermore, a study published in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics found that incorporating executive functioning skills into IEP goals for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can lead to improved social functioning and self-management skills.
