One of the most common challenges for students I evaluate is executive functioning. Deficits can appear in children with AD/HD, learning disabilities, language delays, or in isolation. Some students have clear deficits on office tests that translate into everyday difficulties; others show good skills on tests but cannot implement them in real life. Understanding both is essential to planning. I recommend Beyond BookSmart to help students overcome EF challenges that limit planning, organization, task initiation, and self-monitoring, so they can function more independently and with less stress.
