This is well thought out, easy to use and the reproducable activities in the back of the book cover about every scenario you can think of – and some you didn’t. The sections to survey student, an important factor in helping students help themselves, is something frequently overlooked.

Without reading the whole book – I was using some of the materials within 10 minutes of opening the box. If you are teacher or parent of the disorganized you will find ways to help support your student in their education.

This is a very useful resource for working with parents, teachers and students. It helps to identify students’ STRENGTHS as well as weaknesses. When a student and I go through the questionnaire and then I say, "It looks like you are really good at…" the student is surprised and is much more accepting of, "And it looks like you could use some help with…" The book also offers specific ways to help students develop some of the skills in which they may be weaker. This is my favorite book for working with students who haven’t been very successful at school.

Entering the phrase "executive functioning" on Google resulted in 2,780,000 hits today. Any phrase with that many hits has to be included when addressing student difficulty in the classroom! The authors are very clear in stating that executive skills are not addressed in the traditional intelligence/achievement test batteries. This cluster of skills include planning/directing behavior, working memory, sustained attention, and goal-directed persistence to name only a few.

Dawson and Guare include chapters on the neurological working of the brain, methods of assessing executive functioning, linking assessment to intervention (both with individual students and with a class), coaching, implementing strategies within an RTI framework, and diagnosed populations. The chapter on transitions, either between classes or schools, is also very useful.

The concern in this book is on addressing symptoms/behaviors which may be interfering with a student’s success. While useful to a wide population of adults wishing to implement a positive change in a student, it must be remembered that behavioral checklists provide only one source of information for a very complex set of skills. The use of published, standardized behavior checklists are discussed as an adjunct to the material covered in this book.

This revised book will prove to be a very useful reference for those responsible for recommending and/or implementing strategies for struggling students.
