Executive Function- P Group
Executive Function- Primary Group
Group Details:
Every Friday
Time: 4:00pm-5:00pm
Hong Kong Developmental Paediatrics and Child Neurology Centre (Central)
Number of kids per group: 3-4
P1-P3
Research indicated that children diagnosed with ADHD are marked with symptoms of impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity. Such neurological developmental disorder has impacted and caused executive dysfunction, emotion dysregulation, inability to receive delay gratification and time processing deficit. Such indirect impact has caused challenges on children’s ability to daily functioning.
The skill training group targeting at P1-P3 students with ADHD is designed based on evidence-based researches. We aim to refine children’s capacity to organize and plan, regulate emotionally and socially, and shape desirable behaviors. In addition, throughout these weeks of sessions, children will gain opportunities to practise their attention and mindfulness skills, which in turn, not only regain their focusing skills but also their locus of control.
Note: If the group has started, no make-up class or refund will be made for any absence.

Executive function is a set of higher-level cognitive ability, involving with the regulation and control of various cognitive processes such as working memory, concentration, decision making and abstract thinking. Attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exerts a profound impact on one’s sociability and academic performance. Relevant researches suggest that executive function starts developing when we are three years old. Hence, early intervention and assistance is exceptionally helpful and crucial in enhancing children’s growth of executive function.
This skill training group is an evidence-and-research-based program, referencing from “PATHS Preschool/Kindergarten” program and “Tools of the Minds” curriculum to systematically foster children’s executive function.
Wired-up Brain Program:
This program was tested in Hong Kong and proven to have significant effect.
Note: If the group has started, no make-up class or refund will be made for any absence.

Facts on Common Developmental Conditions
Facts on Common Developmental Conditions
- Children with ADHD/ADD often present with hyperactivity, inattentiveness and weak impulse control. The symptoms will improve with medication and behavioural modification training.
- Children with ASD often have weakly integrated eye contact, low communication intention, language impairment, as well as rigid cognition. They may demonstrate repetitive sensory-craving behaviour. The symptoms will improve with Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), speech therapy and sensory integration training.
- Since symptoms of neurodevelopmental conditions often overlap and co-morbid, your child will need a developmental assessment as early as possible in order to plan the tailor-made intervention.

What is Developmental and Behavioural Paediatrics?
Developmental and Behavioural Paediatrics (DBP) is an accredited subspecialty in Paediatrics in most developed countries. In Hong Kong, DBP specialists are accredited by the Hong Kong College of Paediatricians. All DBP specialists are seasoned specialist paediatricians who developed specialized commitment to enable physical, language, socio-emotional and cognitive development in childhood and adolescence.
Through highly specialized and structured assessment, intervention and counselling, DBP specialists strive to enhance the quality of life of individuals in the context of development, behaviour and learning. DBP emphasizes the seminal impact of early recognition of a child’s areas of strength and weakness in the outcome of development. DBP specialists serve the developmental needs of children and adolescents as well as their communities through highly specialized evidence-based clinical practice, the most up-to-date research, professional leadership, parent education and professional networking with all cross-discipline stakeholders.
Some common developmental conditions as follows:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder/Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD)
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Developmental Delay/ Intellectual Disability
- Speech Delay/Specific Language Impairment
- Specific Learning Difficulties: Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia
- Sensory Integration Impairment
- Developmental Coordination Disorder
What is Paediatric Neurology?
Paediatric Neurology is a medical subspecialty that deals with the investigation, diagnosis and management of neurological conditions in children. Neurological Manifestations of many diseases and disorders especially those leading to dysfunction directly or indirectly affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, autonomic nervous system, muscles, the vascular and skeletal systems will be under the broad umbrella of the subspecialty.
Some commonly encountered conditions in this field include the followings but not comprehensive:
- Ataxia or Unsteadiness and gait impairment
- Movement disorders
- Muscle weakness
- Brain injuries and their complications
- Febrile seizures
- Epilepsy
- Headaches and migraines
- Floppy infants & hypotonia
- Delayed development and intellectual disability
- Congenital anomalies of the Central Nervous System
- Genetic disorders affecting the nervous system
- Cerebral palsy
- Neuromuscular disease
- Behavioural problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Developmental disorders such as delayed speech development
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Learning disorder
