Episode description

This e-book from the National Center for Learning Disabilities offers a comprehensive guide to understanding executive functions, crucial skills impacting learning, behavior, emotions, and social interactions. It highlights the challenges faced by individuals with learning disabilities (LD) and ADHD due to executive dysfunction. The resource provides practical strategies for parents and educators to support children in improving skills such as planning, organization, flexible thinking, working memory, self-monitoring, and impulse control. It also addresses motivation and offers tailored advice for promoting positive behavior and social skills. Bullying is addressed, as well as specific techniques for helping children develop essential interpersonal abilities. The work relies on earlier articles and draws on research conducted by the Research Institute for Learning and Development.
