The more you use it, the more you can use it Every time you learn something new your brain makes a new connection Learning and thinking causes new brain pathways Strive to learn something new every day and you’ll get smarter”

“It’s vital that we modify for their inconsistencies as students with executive functioning difficulties do not have the capacity to do this themselves. Simple visual strategies offer an effective and external way to do this.” Jenks , 2009

Self-awareness
Such exercises help students build a visual profile of their functioning
“Sometimes, by gaining feedback and having the chance to discuss comparisons , a new awareness is stirred, and a student’s thoughts can turn to making change”

“The emotional and pleasure seeking parts of the brain are closely connected. A cognitive approach (choice and consequence) has its place, but never, never underestimate the gains that can be made through emotion and pleasure. Work at developing emotional feedback structures for students.” Dr. Robert Barkley, 2013

Teach the ‘Sunshine shower’ “Let the sunshine rescue you! Move to a spot where you can be alone for a bit. Sit, close your eyes and be still. Turn your back so you can feel the warmth of the sun on it, and enjoy! Now think of something you like; a video game, a movie, a place you enjoyed visiting, a good time with family, or think of something you’re looking forward to. Spend a few moments with these happy thoughts. They’ll help you to feel calmer. Then, return to what you were doing with a plan to make things better.”
