Executive Functioning Parent Toolkit

Executive Functioning Parent Toolkit: Strategies, Activities, and Trackers for Ages 5-18

Is your child struggling with organization, time management, emotional regulation, or getting started on tasks? These are executive functioning challenges, and they are more common than most parents realize, especially in children with ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and other neurodevelopmental differences.

This comprehensive toolkit was designed by Dr. Stacey Lederberg, Ph.D., a special education expert with over 20 years of experience, to give parents practical, research-informed strategies they can use at home right away.

What is included:

- A parent-friendly guide explaining what executive functioning is and how it develops from ages 5-18

- An EF rating scale to identify your child's specific strengths and challenge areas

- Age-tiered strategies for elementary, middle, and high school students across all four core EF areas: Organization and Planning, Time Management, Emotional Regulation, and Working Memory and Task Initiation

- Hands-on family activities for each EF area

- Printable checklists to track skill development

- A 6-week progress tracker

- A parent quick-reference guide with in-the-moment strategies

- Recommended books, apps, and resources

This is not a workbook for kids. This is a toolkit for you, the parent, so you can understand what is happening in your child's brain and support their development with confidence.
