The Everything Parent's Guide to Children with Executive Functioning Disorder: Strategies to Help Your Child Achieve the Time-Management Skills, Focus, and Organization Needed to Succeed in School and Life Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

This book was excellent and gave insight as well as practical suggestions for those with executive functioning disorder. If you are a parent of a child with ADD, ADHD, or ASD, or a combination, this book is a must read. I wish I had had this text earlier.

I am so grateful for the information found in this book! After 10 years of trying to understand what is happening with our sons brain, we can finally read about what has perplexed us all this time. Our son suffered a concussion at age 5 and we never realized nor did his doctors until just recently that he never fully recovered from the concussion. He exhibits many of the Executive Function difficulties and now we have some concrete ways to handle them. Thanks for such an informative book!

I love how this book takes a buzz term like "executive functioning" and breaks it down into manageable chunks of information for the average person. Many people use this term to cover a wide range of issues, but Dr. Branstetter does an excellent job showing that just because a child has issues with one area of executive functioning doesn't mean they have issues in all other areas. Each section provides a checklist so that parents can better identify in which area their child may struggle, and then Dr. Branstetter offers ways to help in each of those areas. As a counselor, this book has changed the way I approach small impulsive groups. I'm better able to get specific information from parents about where their children struggle and then plan my groups to focus on those skills to help those areas of deficit. I recommend this book to each of the parents so they can use it as a resource as well. I can't wait to see more from this author!

this book gave a great insight to EFD

I have loaned this too several parents. Good explanations.

Executive Functioning is a new hot topic in education and behavior. Many people have heard of it, but lots of people have a hard time describing exactly what it is. With more and more kids being diagnosed with executive functioning delays - this book is extremely useful for parents and school professionals. It breaks down the different skills that make up executive functioning and describes them clearly with examples. There are questions for parents to help decide whether each of the areas is a concern for their child. Then each skill area has a dedicated chapter with ideas for improving or accommodating a child's struggles. I am a school psychologist who is currently doing private psychological evaluations. The majority of parents and children I've worked with recently have come to me with executive functioning deficit concerns, whether they knew it or not. I have recommended this book to parents, and have gotten great feedback about it's usefulness. I highly recommend this book for parents, teachers, or other professionals working with kids who struggle with executive functioning.

I am a school psychologist and I have been recommending this book to parents. I love it. It's an easy read and helps parents understand their children.

Great book for parents!

Good basic guide, I can dip in and out of the chapters that best suit my sons' differing concerns. Good for bringing things into focus, but very much orientated to the US.

Lots of practical suggestions and ideas. It is exactly what I was looking for. Confirms a lot of ideas I also. Reassuring.

exactly as described

I would recommend this book - it is helpful and a good read.

This book was the first one I read on the subject and it is exactly what I needed. Informative, simple and to the point. Not much philosophy or literature. I recommend it for those beginners in the subject matter.
