Many school clinicians know executive functioning is important.

They also know that their entire team should be supporting it across general and special education settings.

But they don’t always know what exactly that looks like in practice…

And if they do, they don’t know HOW they can change the practices of classroom teachers.

There are a lot of unanswered questions.

…How can I find time to think about changing teacher’s practices when I barely have time to manage my own workload?

…What is my role if students don’t “qualify” for services on an IEP?

…Doesn’t adding executive functioning to my plate open up a whole can of worms I’ll never be able to manage as a related service provider?

…Even if I should be involved, how do I get teachers and administrators to “buy in?”

In this episode, I share how I help school clinicians not just answer these questions, but actually get executive functioning support in place…

Even if they’re not administrators…

Without taking them away from their existing responsibilities or causing role confusion…
