Summary

Explains "how executive skills develop in children and are used in everyday life - from the self-regulation required for responsible behaviour to the planning and initiation abilities needed to complete homework on time. Guidelines are presented for conducting multimodal assessments and using the results to plan environmental modifications, individualized instruction, coaching, and whole-class interventions. Attention is also given to working with children with ADHD and other clinical problems in which executive skills are impaired."--back cover.
