This second edition provides a comprehensive update of the understanding of Executive Dysfunction (EDF), and provides a clear structure for its evaluation and treatment. New chapters clarify EDF as it complicates the academic, social and communication performance of children with a wide range of disorders.

For ages Birth-18 years. 

Four new chapters address Executive Function (EF) Therapy with protocols, rationales, goals and methods for:

*Building awareness

*Engineering the environment to support EF skills

*Developing and teaching compensatory strategies

*Engaging in language therapy to support reasoning skills

This book provides a framework for the evaluation of EF, and a survey of assessment tools.  Ready-to-use diagnostic questions, informal evaluation and observation protocols are included.  A helpful Treatment Wheel graphic organizes the range of treatment options, from external modifications and strategies to directing intervention for EDF and reasoning deficits.  Sample intervention goals are also included.
