Has Anyone Tried Executive Functioning Training For Their Student?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son is a HFA. He is a freshman in college. He has several accomodations but it is not quite enough. I am handling all of the executive functioning skills for him. I'm scheduling his coursework out on a calendar and following up with him to make sure it is done. He is incredibly intelligent and as long as I do this for him he is getting A's and B's but I'm getting tired. Basically, I'm working full time & going to college.

It is for sure difficult. I was basically my son’s paraprofessional, I always simplified/modified his coursework. I don’t know how I did it, it was crazy. My son will be graduating from college this May.
Daily living skills are a task, no pun intended. My so does not look forward to doing chores around the house. But he does know how to wash, dry and fold clothes. He can make an egg, knows how to pay for items with a credit/bank card. I still need to teach him how to pay bills and balance a checkbook. I’m in the process of creating a daily schedule for him to use on his phone. I told him about it today and he rolled his eyes, it is tiring, but if we don’t do it, no one will.

My son is a junior in college. He has trouble with executive function also. He has accommodations but with everything online he is eligible for tutors. I approached the special services director at the college and they assigned him a mentor. He goes to a branch college but the main campus of his college has a buddy system for people on the spectrum. They assign a neurotypical student to help with what they need and to help them socialize. Maybe check with the special services director and see if there is anything more he is eligible for.
