Executive Function and Design of Programs for Disadvantaged Families Paper

This report from CalWORKs Strategic Initiative Team member, LaDonna Pavetti of Center for Budget and Policy Priorities focuses on executive function skills from the perspective of disadvantaged adults. In many cases, adults are applying for or receiving assistance for the benefit of themselves and their children and that interventions designed to improve opportunities for adults may also have a significant impact on their children.

The paper title is:  “Using Executive Function and Related Principles to Improve the Design and Delivery of Assistance Programs for Disadvantaged Families”
