Gain a new understanding on how students demonstrate executive function skills and a new perspective on what is meant by the term “executive dysfunction”.  Decrease Prompts! Increase the independence with which students can self-initiate, transition, and control impulses to organize their materials, to be ready for and complete tasks with less supervision and fewer prompts.  Teach students to internally sense the sweep of time and to self monitor to sustain concentration, manage pace and complete tasks in allocated time frames.
