I made this for a client of mine who helped me realize just how strong the connection between executive functioning and language is. If you have trouble planning and organizing...you may do just fine in conversation, but when it comes time to understand a novel and more complex direction, or formulate your own novel or more complex utterance, you might run into some trouble!
So I wrote goals based off using an agenda book, increasing self-awareness and advocacy, and demonstrating the ability to organize language with whatever compensatory startegies that work.
We're going to make our own agenda books this weekend (based off the DIY interest my client and I share!). I came up with some strategies to discuss identifying what is hard and how to advocate for yourself to get the modification you need to be successful. I put them on a bookmark to add to the agenda book eventually. We will go over one strategy at a time, and it will be assigned as "homework" to try at home. I realize the entire bookmark may not be effective for this client or any client, but it's a nice little reminder of things to try. The first page is the progression of how I'll introduce the concepts over the weeks, and the second page has the final bookmark that I will laminate.
Download it if you like!
Like I explained, this is pretty much a cheat sheet...so there will be much more explaining when I introduce these...if you're wondering what I meant by something, contact me on my about me page!
