Description
Executive Function Skills for Young People: A Practical Guide FLIPP the Switch: Strengthen Executive Function Skills is a helpful resource for anyone working with young people who struggle with organization, flexibility, impulsiveness, or problem-solving. While many people assume that individuals on the autism spectrum have deficits in executive function skills, the reality is that all young people are learning these skills as they develop. In fact, several clinical conditions and mental health issues can impact executive functioning, making it essential to provide evidence-based strategies for improvement. This book offers practical advice and instructions for 25 strategies, divided into five key components: flexibility, leveled emotionality, impulse control, planning, and problem-solving. By learning these skills, young people can succeed in school, at home, and at work. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of executive function and how it contributes to success, as well as specific tools and techniques for implementing these strategies in their daily lives.
