This second edition is a comprehensive update to the original book. It updates our understanding of executive dysfunction (EDF) and provides a clear structure evaluating and treating EDF. New chapters clarify executive dysfunction as it complicates the academic, social, and communication performance of children with a wide range of disorders.

- building awareness,
- engineering the environment to support EF skills,
- developing and teaching compensatory strategies, and
- engaging in language therapy to support reasoning skills.
This book provides: - A framework for the evaluation of EFs and a survey of assessment tools
