Tracey Hawkins became part of the autism community in 2018 when both of her sons were diagnosed with autism—just seven months apart.When it comes to autism, structure and routine are so important. But as a mother, Tracey couldn't find the right technology to support her family's needs. She knew she couldn't change the diagnosis, but she could improve the support system around it.So, she created the Thrive App—a tool designed to organize the chaos and connect parents with providers. In her own home, Tracey uses the app in multiple ways: to give her older son a clear after-school schedule and to enable real-time communication with her younger son's care team through the chat feature.This isn't just another calendar planning app. Thrive was built through a neurodivergent lens, offering clear directions, visuals, and resources for emotional regulation throughout the day. It's designed to create a smoother path toward independence.The Thrive App offers a 7-day free trial, with subscription options of $7.99/month or $49.99/year. It's a valuable tool for families of all kinds—supporting kids of all ages and needs as they learn structure, routine, and self-sufficiency.#autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:An application to create structure with visual prompts.A seamless chat feature to connect parents and providers.How the Thrive App can help families organize chaos. Mentioned In This Episode:Thriving on the SpectrumMembership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

Stephanie Howard, a BCBA and mother, faced a turning point when her son was diagnosed with ADHD at age five. She realized the same executive functioning tools she used professionally could support both her parenting and her son's development.Executive functioning—skills like planning, impulse control, and focus—is often disrupted in ADHD, autism, and trauma. It's more than behavior; it's about how the brain organizes and responds to the world.Stephanie shares, for listeners, the Executive Functioning Skill Questionnaire and other free resources that have helped her understand and support her son's needs. These tools are designed to guide both parents and professionals in identifying strengths and areas for growth.She also shares some of the specific goals she's set at home, showing how executive functioning skills can be built through everyday routines. Programs like the Flexible and Focused Program and ROPES help break down executive dysfunction into manageable steps.To generalize these skills, Stephanie offers practical tips: use timers and task lists, give clear warnings before transitions, and turn tasks into games to hold attention. She highlights the power of caregiver education, understanding the difference between antecedents and consequences, and working with a team.For Stephanie, it's not just about managing behavior—it's about supporting the brain.#autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:What is Executive Functioning?Assessment for EF skills (FREE resources).Goal examples to use in therapy and at home.Managing and supporting Executive Dysfunction. Mentioned In This Episode:25 Executive Skills Questionnaire — Peg Dawson & Richard Guare Step I: Read each item below and then rate that item based Executive Skills Questionnaire – Revised (ESQ-R) – NovoPsych Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I discuss action-oriented executive functioning skills to help you move from thinking to doing. This is part two of a special mini-series where I share practical strategies for task execution. I cover three key skill areas: task initiation and planning (your ability to begin tasks and map out necessary steps), organization and time management (creating systems for materials/information and allocating time effectively), and inhibitory control and emotional regulation (resisting impulses and managing emotions). For each skill area, I provide concrete strategies including the five-minute rule, backwards planning, digital organizing systems, and distraction-blocking tools, among others. I emphasize that strengthening these executive functioning skills benefits everyone—whether you're a student, professional, or anywhere in between—as they help you effectively plan, focus, remember, and manage your actions across all areas of life.

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I discuss essential executive functioning skills for mastering your mental workspace. They include: working memory (your brain's capacity to temporarily hold and manipulate information), attention control (sustaining focus while filtering distractions), cognitive flexibility (adapting to changes), and metacognition (thinking about your thinking). For each skill, I offer practical strategies such as externalizing information through concept maps, working in timed focus blocks, developing alternative pathways, and regular self-reflection. I also stress that everyone's executive functioning varies based on factors like energy levels, sleep, and nutrition. This is part 1 of a special mini-series so you won't want to miss the next episode where I'll cover output-related skills to help you take action, including planning, organizing, time management, and emotional regulation.  If you liked what you heard, check out episode 238 on executive functioning skills 101 and episode 295 on monthly reflection questions to achieve your goals.

The secret to student success might not be what you think. Our guest reveals why executive functioning skills—the ability to organize, manage time, set goals, and complete tasks—form the foundation for all learning yet are rarely taught explicitly in schools. Through his personal story of classroom struggles, he shares how he developed an innovative approach to embedding these skills naturally into daily routines. Tune in to learn why his book on executive functioning became an instant bestseller and how his "Organized Binder" approach is transforming classrooms across the country.IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:Why some students naturally "get" school while others struggle despite their intelligence and effort The hidden skills that are rarely taught but essential for academic success A practical approach to embedding executive functioning skills into classroom routines without adding to a teacher's workloadRESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Connect with Mitch:organizedbinder.com https://www.instagram.com/organizedbinder/https://x.com/organizedbinderhttps://www.facebook.com/organizedbinderhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchweathers/Email: mitch@organizedbinder.comBook: Executive Functions for Every Classroom, Grades 3-12: Creating Safe and Predictable Learning EnvironmentsThe 90-Day Accelerator is opening soon, and waitlist members get two live coaching calls plus exclusive leadership courses ($750 value).

He rarely felt comfortable in the classroom. In fact, it took him 7 years for him to graduate from college.Choosing to become a teacher, Mitch was fortunate enough to experience school as if it was happening all around him. He was unsure how to jump into his learning with confidence. There is a loneliness to experiencing your education as a passive object as opposed to an active subject.From the moment he entered the classroom, Mitch relied on his personal experiences as a learner. He recognized that what we teach, the content or curriculum is secondary. We must first lay the foundation for learning before we can get to teach. In fact, unless students develop a solid foundation for learning it does not matter how great your teachers deliver content, or how emergent the technology, or even how engaging a lesson might be.Mitch designed Organized Binder to empower teachers with a simple but research-backed strategy to teach students executive functioning skills while protecting the time needed for content instruction. The secret is found in establishing a predictable learning routine that serves to foster safer learning spaces. When students get practice with executive functions by virtue we set them up for success.Enjoying the show?

Welcome to season 5 of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.!Today we talk about how executive functioning skills develop, and the relationship between those skills and emotional intelligence.  When it comes to executive functioning skills, The Harvard Center for the Developing Child says, “Children are not born with these skills -they are born with the potential to develop them.”  How do we build them in our students?  Which skills are easier for us?  Do we expect them to be easy for everyone?  Is that when we require some emotional intelligence?  Join us as we chat!Join Betsy Kindall and Nicole Fairchild as they discuss issues related to mental health in education. Their conversations are witty and relate-able, simultaneously shedding light on issues that can sometimes be hard to confront or understand. These episodes are chunked into small bites and packed with information that would be helpful to educators, parents, children.....anyone!
