Tools You Can Use Today
Teaching Executive Function SkillsOR… bridging the dissociation between knowing and doing
The Challenge:• A student with ASD: “My biggest problem in college has
been executive functioning. I’m not organized, I’m late with everything and I don’t know how to get started. My school did a great job of including me in school, but why didn’t anyone teach me this EF stuff?”
• EF skills are hard to generalize (Ylvisaker et al., 2003)
The Strategy:• Embed teaching in the real world: school & home• Show, model and coach

Teaching: Why Be Flexible
• Advantages of physical flexibility
• The “facts” of life
• What to do when what I want is impossible
• Pie charts: getting part of I want is better than getting nothing at all
