title: What Are Executive Functions and Self-Regulation and What Do They Have to Do With Language-Learning Disorders?
abstract: In this article, executive functions and selfregulation are defined and the reciprocal influence of these factors on the performance of students with language-learning disorders (LLD) is explored. A case study demonstrates the integration of executive functions, self-regulation, and language processes within speech and language assessment and intervention. Clinicians are urged to consider the interactive effects of executive function, self-regulatory, and language processes when addressing the needs of students with LLD.
