This book presents an innovative model for strengthening and
developing executive function in any student, including those with
attention, memory, organization, planning, inhibition, initiative,
and flexibility difficulties. It provides guidance on how to
support each student's evolving executive function, and how to
encourage those who are ready to develop self-advocacy and become
more responsible for the development of his or her own executive
function skills. The author advocates a student-centred approach in
which educators first explore eight key 'ingredients' with the
student: relationships; strengths and weaknesses; self-advocacy and
responsibility; review and preview; motivation and incentive;
synthesis and analysis; rhythm and routine; and practice and
repetition. She provides step-by-step explanations of how the
educator and student can then explore and use these 'ingredients'
in different ways and in different combinations to successfully
address particular areas of difficulty. The approach is clearly
explained, and the author provides many useful examples,
tried-and-tested practical tips and strategies; suggested
conversation starters; sample time management plans; and other
tools that can be adapted to meet the particular needs and
abilities of each individual student. Original and effective, the
approach outlined in this book will be of interest to teachers and
other professionals involved in supporting executive function in
students of all ages, as well as parents and carers.
