Description

A strengths-based approach to understanding and supporting executive function in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is presented in this innovative model. By identifying an individual's preferred style of engagement and communication, and how sensory experiences impact their thoughts, feelings, and actions, it is possible to build a strong foundation for social and communication skills.

The book explains how to use this information to identify an individual's strengths and weaknesses across eight key areas that are the building blocks of executive functions: attention, memory, organization, time management, initiative, behavior, goal setting, and flexibility. These areas can be used daily to establish predictability and offer a foundation for interpreting, processing, and understanding the world with flexibility.

Practitioners and parents can use this approach as the basis of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or to create personalized interventions and support at school or at home. This book provides a person-centred approach to supporting individuals with ASD, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to improve executive function and social communication skills.
