Target specific high-level cognitive processes in your clients with executive function disorder with activities that can be individualized to their needs and interests.

planning and organization
identifying what needs to be done
carrying out the steps in an orderly way
identifying the beginning tasks
maintaining attention
evaluating how they're doing on a task
taking feedback or suggestions

information on the use of standardized and informal assessment tools to reflect the patient's real-life performance

thorough explanations of the processes of time management, attention (five forms), goal-directed behavior, and memory
