I want to have children with terrible executive skills, just so I can use this book, it’s that awesome. Actually, it would be incredibly useful to anyone, even for adults trying to diagnose what they are missing. There is even a section full of ‘ready made plans for teaching various routines’. With checklists, step by step algorithms, and lots of adaptability. It’s nice to have a book that has all that stuff, rather than being something like “theory of organization and parenting”. Instead, it’s like “do this. Because your child is unpredictable, and it may not work, here are alternatives” Ben                                                                                                        rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

Very good. A bit lengthy in part but the information is all very very good.mwould recommend with any child who seems to have trouble with executive skills Kate Teague                                                                                           rated it: 5.0 from 5.0
