ANECDOTE

Maddie's Executive Dysfunction Story

  • Maddie's story shows how parents and teachers solve problems through accommodations but miss teaching self-management.
  • Short-term fixes fail when the student doesn't learn to independently handle executive functions.
INSIGHT

ADHD as a Pervasive Executive Disorder

  • ADHD impacts all seven executive functions, unlike other disorders that affect only some.
  • This makes ADHD a pervasive executive disorder affecting broad self-regulation abilities.
ADVICE

  • Spend only 20% of time on skill knowledge; focus 80% on environment redesign to prompt strategy use.
  • Teach performing strategies in context rather than just explaining them to improve executive function.
