I really appreciate Teresa giving references at the end of her work. This is a Concrete, Practical Book. How much time will it take? About 4 Hours I came across this book for specifically understanding -- Goals of Executive Functions. Teresa gives strategies, stories of Children managing. She writes it specifically for Children with special needs. She also goes into Basic Emotional Regulation. I wish, she had taken, Gloria Wilcox's Emotional Wheel for emotional regulation.

Basically, the wheel goes into Core emotions and branches out into feelings. Also, she failed to mention, meta-emotion for cognitive understanding. Eg: How do you feel, about feeling sad? She says Concealment, Tolerance, Reappraisal are strategies. Concealment is not recommended, as in the long run, it might lead to health-issues. Executive Function: -Create a List -Schedule -Reminder -Create Routine -Task (How long does it take?) -Define Success Overall, A Great Book, I would recommend this to everyone. This would also help us to understand Children, Learning Behavior, Parenting Techniques. Deus Vult, Gottfried

I found this book to be full of practical advice for teachers, parents, and specialists. I listened to the book and want to get it in print so I can quickly refer to the suggestions I can use with my students. Some suggestions that stood out: Present rules and procedures in first person narrative form, give students time to transition, understanding sensory modulation in the individual is essential, and create a routine that also includes a daily surprise/change so they learn how to cope with ch I found this book to be full of practical advice for teachers, parents, and specialists.

Very well written, but as a parent to a 4 year old, I didn’t find this particularly helpful. Most of the examples and advice were for kids probably ages 7-8 and up. It would be a great resource for that age group.

I liked parts of this book because it gave good ideas for interventions for some of my needier students. But some of it was not relevant to me as a teacher and was geared more towards parents, which is great if I ever am a parent of a child with special needs. I will know right where to find help.
