A classroom-based intervention approach for high-functioning students ages 8–11, this innovative guide gives special educators and other service providers ready-to-use lessons that promote cognitive and behavioral flexibility in everyday situations, from compromising with peers to handling schedule changes. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of researchers and front-line professionals, the 27 lessons in Unstuck and On Target!
- are tested and proven. Students in field tests reported clear benefits, including increased ability to compromise and focus on larger goals.
- reflect the learning style of students with ASD. Explicit, step-by-step routines, activities, and scripts build on the natural strengths of students with ASD and ensure that they make progress.
- target specific skills every student needs to learn more effectively, participate successfully in the classroom, reduce stress, get along with others, set and achieve goals, problem solve, complete tasks independently, and more.
- free up teacher time. Educators will spend less time supporting students with flexibility challenges and more time on teaching.
- fit easily into any curriculum. Lessons are easy to use and don't require extensive planning.
- make learning fun, with engaging games, role-plays, stories, and lively class discussions.
- ensure generalization. Take-home worksheets for each lesson strengthen the home-school connection and help students transfer their new flexibility skills to other settings.
With this effective, user-friendly approach to executive function intervention, students with ASD will develop the flexibility skills they need to reach their goals, enjoy healthy relationships, and succeed in school and in the community.
Help students with ASD
- handle unexpected events
- cope with disappointment and frustration
- keep an open mind
- navigate disagreements with friends
- set and achieve goals
- distinguish a "big deal" from a "little deal"
- learn how to compromise
- create a Plan B when Plan A doesn't work
