Some students continue to miss assignments and struggle to keep up with the pace in class despite being given organizing tools.
This is because they’re experiencing executive dysfunction.
While organizers and planners can help some of us stay on top of our work, they don’t actually teach the internal mental processes needed to complete multi-step tasks and persist through challenging tasks.
In this video, I explain some of the executive functioning skills required to use lists effectively, and why the way they’re often used does not teach students the skills they need to manage their work.
This video clip is taken from my free online training:
How to be neurodiversity-affirming and evidence based (by supporting executive functioning).
In this free training I reveal:
- Why kids continue to experience anxiety or behavioral challenges, even though they’re going to therapy or have a behavior plan.
- Common mistakes multidisciplinary teams make when teaching executive functioning (and why lists, planners, and behavior charts aren’t working).
- Why kids continue to struggle with problem-solving, and friendships, even though they’re going to therapy and social skills groups.
