Executive Functioning in Autistic &amp; ADHD Children","description":"Are they really refusing\u2014or are we expecting their brain to do something it can\u2019t reliably access in that moment? Executive functioning differences can look like laziness, carelessness, defiance, lack of motivation, \u201cnot listening,\u201d forgotten homework, unfinished assignments, meltdowns, or complete shutdown after school. But those &quot;behaviors&quot; may be telling us a very different story. In this episode, you\u2019ll learn:  Why \u201ctry harder\u201d often misses the real problem How working memory affects classroom performance Why multi-step verbal instructions can fall apart Why kids may complete assignments but never turn them in Why some neurodivergent kids are completely depleted after school How visual directions, checklists, chunking, routines, and external supports can help Why accommodations are about access\u2014not special treatment Helpful ways to think about support in IEP and 504 meetings  The goal isn't to make neurodivergent kids try harder. It's to give their brain what it needs. \ud83c\udf92 Need school accommodation ideas? You'll love the 135 School Accommodations for Autistic &amp;amp; ADHD Students Guide!
