Are you disorganized, chronically late, forgetful, or impulsive? Do you struggle to get your homework done, but never manage to turn it in on time? It may not be your fault. You might have executive functioning disorder (EFD), an attention disorder marked by an inability to stay on task that is common in people with learning disabilities. If you have tried to better manage your time and meet deadlines with little success, you may feel like giving up.
The Executive Functioning Workbook for Teens is an easy-to-use, practical workbook written by a licensed school counselor, and it will provide you with the skills needed to get organized, retain information, communicate effectively, and perform well in school and everyday life. Based in proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the book offers activities that will help you better understand your disorder and cope with it effectively.
With one chapter for each of the ten main areas of EFD, the book also includes tips for initiating positive action and change, improving flexibility in thinking, sustaining attention, organizing, planning, enhancing memory, managing emotions, and building self-awareness. Written in a fun, engaging format, this book is designed to motivate and inspire you to carry out and complete tasks with ease.
From handling frustration to taking notes in class, this book will help you hone the skills you need to succeed.

I am a counselor who works with students in areas of organization, planning, goal setting and more, and found this book offered some very useful insights and exercises for working with teenage students. The initial self-assessment that targets and labels specific deficiencies in executive functioning seems particularly helpful. Sometimes it's difficult to put a name on where the weakness lies, and this assessment helps to break up student challenges into various areas, with coinciding activities and further insights to focus on later in the book. I do think this book would be most effective as a joint effort between counselor or caring adult and students, as difficulty with individual homework completion is often a reality for these students, and more such exercises that the book offers to do on their own might prove daunting or unattainable. All in all, I think this book could serve as a valuable resource for providing insight, encouraging reflection, and practicing, developing and honing skills for better school and life success.By Tracy McCafferty
If a child has REAL trouble sitting down and completing tasks, such as a one-page worksheet for school, how in the world do the authors think that this same child will be able or have any desire to sit down and read chapters and will ever be able to complete any of this "work".By Mrs. Larson
