Executive Function
The brain’s capacity to allow us to separate action and reward. Allows us to execute goal-directed behavior across time. Normal development allows increasingly complex, prolonged separation of action and reward.

Executive Function Developmental Perspective
EF develop in children as a function of brain growth/development. Teaching methods presume prior brain development. Kids are “moving targets” of progress in brain development. At least 20% of children lag peers in brain development—thus, in EF

ADHD is a Disability of Executive Function
Impairs the ability to separate action and reward ADD/ADHD is a disability of the “To-Do” mechanism of the brain. – Not a disability of interest-based function – Disability of importance-based function
Affects every action, every second Disrupts every life path

ADHD concept
Children with ADHD: Lack the basic, learned self-control mechanism which school is designed to rehearse. Learn to attend and function by artificially inducing emotional engagement
Interest-based production when possible Anxiety and shame otherwise

Accommodations for ADHD students
Medication-optimized – Review and reinforce
academic routines
Not optimized – Replace deficient self-controls
with external controls Monitor task completion Coordinate with parents who must do the same in evening Provide intermittent rewards Provide frequent reminders to sustain attention, effort Individualize motivational structure Token behavioral reward systems Workload reduction

Teaching ADHD Students General strategies: – Increase emotional engagement – Support executive function
Adopt “Disability Model” 30% rule—ADHD students can maintain the executive function of a child 30% junior. – 6th grader—3rd grade function – 9th grader—5th grade function
Do not teach organizational/functional methods – You may require use of a method – Must follow up and reward use of the method
Do not expect to withdraw support

Teaching ADHD Students
Increase emotional engagement. – Maintain rewarding environment
Reward every positive thing you can 10:1 ratio of positive encouragement to correction. Touch can be very effective
– Polite, respectful, positive, low-key, appropriate – Hand on shoulder/back to signal “pay attention”

Teaching ADHD Students
Increase emotional engagement. – Allow students to work in areas of interest whenever
possible. – To create a rewarding environment, take a lesson
from video games: State objective clearly Provide feedback on progress Reward frequently Reward immediately Reward visibly Small tokens are adequate
![Page 37: ADHD Two Attentions One Deficit - omason.com · ADHD Two Attentions One Deficit Oren Mason ... These regions work in concert with each other and other re\൧ions such as ... \爀屲AHA](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022600/5b3cbfc47f8b9a986e8d366b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Teaching ADHD Students
Increase emotional engagement. – Time outs should deprive a student of a
rewarding environment. Physically separate from rest of class Involve assignment (worksheet) that must be complete to return to class Time out can be proportionate: 2-sheet, 3-sheet Return to class setting without comment
– Threats of harm can be effective, are not desirable.

Teaching ADHD Students
Increase emotional engagement. – Participatory events effective – Peer tutoring effective – Students teaching younger students highly
effective – Work done should be rewarded – Cash awards are very effective. (Get over it.)

Teaching ADHD Students
Support executive function – Reward/consequence at “point of performance”.
Teachers cannot augment homework performance Parents cannot augment school performance Daily report cards effective through high school
– Feedback immediate Example:
– Assign class 20 math problems – Raise hand when two completed – Score and encourage (or repeat)
Grades impact performance only when prompt

Support executive function – Extended time may not be effective
ADHD students work best against a deadline Multiple short deadlines often more effective

Teaching ADHD Students Parent sends note to Josh’s first hour teacher: “Josh had a rough morning. • “He didn’t eat breakfast or finish his morning chores. Please
have him eat his fruit and some protein. A banana and a yogurt are what I offered, but whatever you have there is fine.
• “He still needs to brush his teeth and make his bed. Check under the quilt; he doesn’t always straighten the sheets well.
• “Have him return his brother’s tape player and put it away! • “I’ll post his chore scores on our family website Friday or
next Monday at the latest. Let’s keep in touch. Feel free to contact me anytime. Thanks.”

Teaching ADHD Students Support executive function – Schoolwork best done in school
Hard deadline (end of class period) improves function Teachers available for guidance Allowing any work at home guarantees that most work will be left for home Parents generally ill-equipped to help Work at home is generally very inefficient
– Until 6th grade, homework does not improve performance or indicate progress
It does give direct feedback on the parent’s level of executive function Memory drills—math and spelling—may be an exception.

Teaching ADHD Students
Support executive function – When homework is assigned, parents need tools
to assume executive function support at home: Prior missing work Actual assignment Deadline for completion, waypoints
– When dealing with late/missing assignments Parents need same day feedback to help correct Students need same day feedback to adjust “Automatic failure” for late assignments may be counter-productive for most ADHD students.

Accommodation Summary
Teachers and parents cooperate to extend support from home to school and back ADHD children (and their parents) need: – Timely grade reports – Accurate assignment details – Immediate behavioral feedback
