Learners without access to those tools may find that they feel frustrated, anxious, or even ashamed when they have a difficult time paying attention, organizing and planning tasks, maintaining focus, managing their emotions, and keeping track of academic responsibilities. And educators, who may also be feeling overwhelmed themselves, may be at a loss for ways to provide learners with needed support.
In an effort to build a direct and accessible path through these challenges, Diana Petschauer, M.Ed, ATP, and Laurie McIntosh, MS, OTR/L, ATP, put their brilliant minds, and years of experience, together to curate an executive function toolkit for educators and their learners. They’ve compiled some of the most effective digital tools available to aid executive function. You’ll find their executive function toolkit is brimming with resources to empower students to focus their attention, organize their thoughts, and work through this tough school year with greater confidence and independence.
