We closely observe how the student is executing in the classroom as well as within the larger school environment.
Important executive function based questions are asked:
- Are they goal oriented?
- Can they sustain attention to task?
- How does the student manage their time and organize materials in and outside of the classroom?
- Can the child read the room, respond accordingly and transition effectively?
- Has the student completed and turned in homework?
- Does the student obey rules, participate in class discussions, shows interest in the subject, enjoys helping others, etc.
- How often does the student demonstrate a problem solving approach to unexpected changes or problems?
- How does the student communicate with teachers and peers during instruction and informal social times?
Specific strategies and goals are recommended based on the analysis. Classroom recommendations and program development are provided in conjunction with formal evaluation measures or independently as deemed appropriate for an individual student’s situation.
