FLIPP the Switch: Strengthen Executive Function Skills is a
practical book written for parents and educators by parents and
educators. The target audience is anyone who works with young
people aged 3-22 who are disorganized, inflexible, impulsive, and
who struggle with planning or problem solving. Readers will learn
about executive function (EF) and how EF skills contribute to
success in school, at home, and in work environments. Most
importantly, readers will receive specific instructions, templates,
and how-to scenarios for 25 strategies, five strategies for each of
the five FLIPP components - flexibility, leveled emotionality,
impulse control, planning, and problem solving. This book is
indispensable for anyone who wants to minimize conflict, maximize
on-task behaviour, and support positive social-emotional
development in a child or student with challenging behaviour.
Although many educators associate deficits in EF skills with
students on the autism spectrum, the reality is that many young
people struggle with executive functioning. In fact, it is accurate
to say that all young people are learning executive functioning as
these skills are not fully developed until people are well into
their twenties. In addition, several clinical conditions, such as
attention deficit disorders, fetal alcohol syndrome disorder,
intellectual disability, obsessive-compulsive disorders, social
communication disorder, specific learning disability, Tourette's
Syndrome, and traumatic brain injury are often understood to have a
component of EF deficits. Furthermore, individuals with diagnoses
such as anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia may also exhibit
deficits in the area of executive function. The good news is that
there are evidence-based strategies that can be used at home, in
school, in the community, and in work situations that can
significantly improve the executive functioning of individuals who
struggle in this area. Given the right tools, parents, educators,
and others who work with this population can effectively structure
the environment and teach strategic thinking skills that will
support the critical life skills of flexibility, leveled
emotionality, impulse control, planning, and problem solving.
