"Executive Function Disorder: rarely tested, rarely addressed, yet with devasting consequences" Robin Hansen/SF Examiner 5/6/10
I've been thinking about EF recently. In a conversation with a parent, we both felt that this was a problem often labeled too easily as ADHD. My sister and I have been talking about parents who've been asking us about helping with organizational skills. And one of my Goodreads friends recently recommended That Crumpled Paper Was Due Last Week by Ana Homayoun, a book that deals with the EF issue, as does Joyce Cooper-Kahn and Laurie Dietzel's Late, Lost and Unprepared: A Parents' Guide to Helping Children with Executive Functioning. Ms. Homayoun is local: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/01/education/01boys.html.
