This book presents an innovative model for enhancing and developing executive function in any student, including those who face challenges in attention, memory, organization, planning, inhibition, initiative, and flexibility. It provides guidance on how to support each student's evolving executive function and how to encourage those ready to develop self-protection and become more responsible for developing their own executive function skills.

The author advocates for a student-centered approach, where educators explore eight key "components" with the student first: relationships, strengths and weaknesses, self-protection and responsibility, review and foresight, motivation and motives, synthesis and analysis, rhythm and routine, as well as practice and repetition. It provides step-by-step explanations of how the educator and the student can then explore and use these "components" in different ways and in various combinations to successfully address specific areas of difficulty.

The approach is clearly explained, and the author provides many useful examples, tested practical advice, and strategies, suggestions for initiating discussion, sample time management plans, and other tools that can be adapted to the specific needs and abilities of each student. Original and effective, the approach described in this book will interest teachers and other professionals involved in supporting executive function in students of all ages, as well as parents and caregivers.
