Executive Skills in Children and Adolescents: A Practical Guide to Assessment and Intervention (The Guilford Practical Intervention in Schools Series)
Executive Skills in Children and Adolescents: A Practical Guide to Assessment and Intervention (The Guilford Practical Intervention in Schools Series)
In clear, step-by-step detail, this highly practical manual provides a research-based framework for strengthening executive functioning in children and adolescents. The book explains how executive skills develop in children and are used in everyday life–from the self-regulation required for responsible behavior to the planning and initiation abilities needed to complete homework on time. Guidelines are presented for conducting multimodal assessments and using the results to plan environmental modifications, individualized instruction, coaching, and whole-class interventions. Attention is also given to working with children with ADHD and other clinical problems in which executive skills are impaired. Many of the techniques described can be implemented by teachers and parents in collaboration with school-based clinicians. Designed in a large-size format with convenient, lay-flat binding, the manual includes over a dozen reproducible assessment tools, checklists, and planning sheets, ready to photocopy and use.

Valuable Information for teaching Organizational Skills,
This book gives detailed information that could help students develop “self-talk” cues to remain focused with homework assignments, daily organizational task and long term projects. The term Executive Function works. The forms at the end of the book are helpfull and can be rearranged for individual student use. A good overview of what can help students who have “ADD” or “ADHD”.

Had to have it,
I perused this book through interlibrary loan and had to have my own copy. Executive skills are reviewed and handy, handy procedures are given along with various forms intended to help the student, teacher, and parent stay organized and in tune with the student’s performance. My copy is currently in my classroom and I intend to use it. This book is appropriate for any student, not just those with attention or organization difficulties.

Common sense advice,
As a parent, I may have missed some of the subtleties in this book, but I thought it seemed like a long exposition of what is largely common sense advice. No problem with it really – it was a good way to get started thinking about some strategies – but somehow I expected more insight out of it.
