It is sure to be a timeless resource for school psychologists and special educators."-- "NASP Communiqué" (5/1/2019 12:00:00 AM)"Clear, concise, and easy to understand." (on the first edition)-- "Doody's Review Service" (4/8/2005 12:00:00 AM)"I thought the second edition was wonderful, but am blown away by the third edition. It contains systematic methods, case studies, and checklists for enhancing executive skills of children from early childhood through adolescence. The book emphasizes an essential multi-tiered continuum of prevention and supports for students with and without disabilities. Updated and expanded chapters on assessment, instruction, and intervention integrate how-to procedures with current research advances. Notable new chapters focus on children with autism and ADHD; several chapters written by teachers apply executive skill concepts to whole-school approaches.

It is indispensable as a text for university courses and a resource for education and mental health professionals."--Patti L.

The third edition moves the field forward by focusing on giving students ownership of interventions and involving them in implementation. The clinician will appreciate being able to quickly find ideas for addressing common tasks that students struggle with, like writing a paper."--Julia L.
