| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Let’s move onto Q2… #ExecutiveFunction #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q2. What are some treatments that may actually help improve a child's executive functions, and why might they work? #ExecutiveFunction #ldchat https://t.co/YvwdqQcyxS |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @UnderstoodOrg A1: Using descriptive language is also important. “We are doing your math sheet, let’s think about our approach. What will we do first. Then what will we do next?” #ExecutiveFunction #ldchat |
 | Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A1: #Executivefunction:Initiating, planning, following through a task, regulating your emotions, plus seeing how you affect others. #ldchat |
| Angela Lange @angela_lange25 @DrLynneKenney @UnderstoodOrg Very interesting! I have witnessed that #executivefunction is a much more complex skill, but extremely crucial to learning & everyday living #LDchat |
 | Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A1. Older kids benefit from support in academics and social activities. Focus, activation, effort, memory, action, and emotion. Peers and mentors provide the greatest support. #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @UnderstoodOrg A2: When we consider treatments to improve EF we need to look at what specific activities pose a child challenges, then look at the component of executive function skills that child might need more of. #ExecutiveFunction #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @DrLynneKenney: @UnderstoodOrg A2: @UnderstoodOrg A2: When we consider treatments to improve EF we need to look at what specific activities pose a child challenges, then look at the component of executive function skills that child might need more of. #ExecutiveFunction #ldchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @UnderstoodOrg A2: As an example, we may observe a child has difficulty paying attention. Then we need to ask, what part of the attention cycle is causing a challenge? Alerting, selecting, attending, monitoring drift, recognizing drift, re-alerting, re-selecting etc. #ExecutiveFunction #ldchat |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Cognitive behavioral therapy and organizational coaching are just two treatments that may benefit a child with #ExecutiveFunction issues. #ldchat https://t.co/39hQxvc5NX |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @UnderstoodOrg A2: Treatments range from computer-delivered cognitive skill build such as ACTIVATE™ and Akili to Bal-A-Vis-X, neurofeedback + direct skill coaching. The key is to look for peer-reviewed experimental studies. We are at the beginning of this science, much research ahead. #ldchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A2: The brain has a use it or lose it model - we need to add pathways, including resilience, early. But its never too late... #ldchat |

| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A2. Parents and teachers of older kids and ADHD tend to look for experts in #Executive Functioning, support too. Speak to multiple learning styles and preferences. Break down plans into a series of steps. Allocate time to carry out the plan Independent work is best. #LDchat |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @UnderstoodOrg A2: Some evidence based-treatments require intensive doses, perhaps 3-4 days per week. Just like going to the gym to build a muscle, if you are going to build a brain you need lots of specific neural stimulation, repeatedly for a certain time-frame. #ExecutiveFunction #ldchat |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Sometimes a child with #ExecutiveFunction issues could use an accommodation or two to help out in class. Here are 23 to consider. #ldchat https://t.co/BGbN0iDDFP |
| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @UnderstoodOrg @RPolancoMedia A3: There is a lot we can do in the classroom. Step 1 learn about the range and components of executive function skills. Step 2 help the child understand how the brain works, what cognitive skills are and what steps he can take to improve them. #ExecutiveFunction #ldchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A3. Teacher preparation is the best tool for teens with #ExecutiveFunctioning. Be willing to negotiate, rather than dictate. Make them full partners of routines. Forced actions/coerced participation unlikely to succeed. Identify potential obstacles to overcome goals. #LDchat |

| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @UnderstoodOrg @RPolancoMedia A3: Helping the student understand what PART of the cognitive skill is an issue is helpful. With working memory as an example, is the challenge that the child is not attending so she doesn’t see or hear what she needs to learn or do? #ExecutiveFunction #ldchat |

| InventiveLabs - #WorkplaceInclusion @inventivesrise A3: Posting assignments and expectations combined with announcing them at least twice helps kids retain info and prompt them to write it down #ldchat |

| Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney @UnderstoodOrg @RPolancoMedia A3: Planning out and practicing the strategy when the child is calm is best. This helps the student to be the “best coach” for his own brain, improving recognition when he is off task, impulse or inattentive and implementing the strategy when needed. #ExecutiveFunction #ldchat |
