This updated, research-based guide gives you the tools to help students with disabilities succeed in a standards-based curriculum that emphasizes strong executive functioning skills. Along with explanation of the three executive functions, you get specific interventions to foster students’ skills in:

• Differentiating essential from extraneous information
• Focusing attention and avoiding off-task behaviors
• Planning and organizing thoughts and materials, and identifying multiple ways to address tasks
• Using today's tech supports, including cloud-based calendars, task lists and browser extensions — new chapter!
• Plus more

This update includes a second new chapter on special education assessment, including when an assessment should be conducted and what it should involve so students newly demonstrating executive functioning issues don’t slip through the cracks.
