Topic / Concept
Summary / Key Points
Executive Functioning Skills
Skills include impulse control, emotional control, working memory, flexible thinking, self-monitoring, planning and prioritizing, task initiation, organization. These support behavior, learning, and goal completion. Examples: stopping before acting, managing emotions, adjusting approaches, remembering multi-step directions, planning homework, starting assignments independently, keeping materials organized.
Games Targeting Executive Functioning
Games like Blurt, Distraction, Pictionary, 5 Second Rule, Jenga target different executive skills. Blurtimproves impulse control and working memory; Pictionary improves flexibility and planning; Jengaimproves emotional control, impulse control, flexible thinking, planning, and prioritizing.
Prompting Strategies
Most-to-least prompting: starts with full support and gradually reduces help, preventing errors. Example: hand-over-hand → manual guidance → light touch → independent. Least-to-most prompting: start independent, add support only as needed. Differential reinforcement can reduce prompt dependence.
Reinforcement Strategies
Identify effective reinforcers through preference assessments, stimuli sampling, and avoiding satiation. Reinforcers motivate learning, maintain engagement, and support independent responses. Examples: letting a student choose between toys, varying rewards, testing new motivators.
Video Modeling
Used to teach play, self-help skills, socio-dramatic play. Benefits include being resource efficient and less intrusive than live modeling. Learning occurs by observing videos before practicing.
Trauma & Age Characteristics
Preschool: general fearfulness, toileting accidents, repetitive reenactment. School age: physical discomfort, preoccupation, perseverative retell. Adolescent: withdrawing, self-destructive behavior, fear of being abnormal. Trauma includes disaster, medical events, abuse, sex trafficking, grief, bullying.
Classroom Inclusion Strategies
Focus on relationships, skills, and membership. Inclusive classrooms teach academics, build friendships, and give students meaningful roles. UDL supports inclusive environments, proactive planning, multiple approaches to content, multiple assessment formats, and reviewing classroom setup.
Procedural Integrity
Ensures interventions are delivered as intended. Staff must be trained, implement procedures correctly, ensure target responses are appropriate, and monitor student responses.
Autism Accounts
Functional accounts focus on interventions and understanding behavior effects. Structural accountsexplain causes, providing tools to understand deficits.
Neurodiversity Framework
Focuses on different brain wiring, inclusion, and recognizing normal variations rather than just deficits.
Classroom Routines Supporting Executive Skills
Include weekly organization time, consistent routines, visual schedules, movement during instruction, brain breaks, end-of-day checklists, teaching executive skills, clear expectations, homework in same spot.
Best Practices in Intervention
Steps: determine what we know → determine how many things work → use comparative studies → predict effective practice → identify important prerequisites → assess verbal behavior repertoire.
Addressing Lack of Progress
Causes may include inadequate learning opportunities, lack of procedural integrity, wrong reinforcement schedule, limited resources, medical problems, or severe self-injurious behavior. Solutions include increasing opportunities, differential reinforcement, potent reinforcement for independent responses.
Verbal Behavior & Prompts
Echoic prompts: learner repeats what they hear. Gestural prompts: physical movement or gesture to guide learner. Prompt fading is used to gradually reduce assistance while maximizing learning.
Targeting Executive Skills in Students
Task initiation: starting work independently. Impulse control: stopping before acting. Working memory: remembering steps. Organization: keeping materials and tasks structured. Use interventions to strengthen these skills.
Curriculum Focus for Autism
Target imitation skills, social interaction, communication skills, awareness of the world, response interruption & redirection (RIRD). For example: teaching turn-taking, imitation games, playground interactions.
Strategies for Executive Function Deficits
Include movement during instruction, creating routines, visual schedules or lists. Supports planning, attention, organization.
Building Positive Rapport
Make eye contact, use humor, show respect, learn student interests, acknowledge mistakes. Positive relationships increase engagement and trust.
