Impulsive, scattered, lost, unfocused, unprepared, disorganized: These are just a few of the words used to describe kids with executive functioning deficits, which commonly affect many children already diagnosed with ADHD, learning disabilities, and autism. The Impulsive, Disorganized Child: Solutions for Parenting Kids with Executive Functioning Difficulties helps parents pinpoint weak executive functions in their children, then learn how to help their kids overcome these deficits with practical, easy solutions. Children who can't select, plan, initiate, or sustain action toward their goals are children who simply struggle to succeed in school and other aspects of life. Parents need the helpful, proven advice and interactive surveys and action plans in this book to empower them to take positive action to teach their disorganized, impulsive child to achieve independence, success, and a level of self-support.

      Starred review from May 15, 2015

      If you have a child with executive functioning issues, you probably look just like the kid on this book's cover (exasperated). While commonly diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other learning disabilities, kids with organizational problems are not necessarily "on the spectrum," and there are many things we can do to help them foster important skills. School psychologists Forgan and Richey give parents and teachers clear examples, relevant research, and tips for leveraging strengths. Each chapter begins with a "self-reflection survey" showing how the lack of executive functioning can impede progress in school and at home, followed by action points to assist parents and teachers to move a child on to greater success. VERDICT The advice presented has practical context and gives specifics for action. Using the "SMART" model (goals should be: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely), kids can join their parents in improving impulse control and organization.
