Children with executive functioning deficits often have trouble with tasks that require planning, organization, and self-regulation. These skills are important for academic success and for everyday living. Here are some strategies/interventions that can help students develop the skills they need to succeed in school and in life:
break down tasks into small manageable steps
find ways to self-edit or self-check (eg. checklists)
use tools to manage time
use tools to manage task requirements
regulate emotions and social thinking (eg flexible thinking, recognising the size of a problem)
modify tasks or environmental demands
use adaptive equipment
educate parents and teachers
