There are many classroom accommodations that can be made to help students with executive functioning issues. There are four major areas that can help students including teaching, classroom, organization and time management and work and test taking. Teachers can help student with executive function issues by ensuring that they give step-by-step instructions and ensure that the students repeat them back to them. Have a daily routing and provide students with an outline of the lesson before they begin. Letting the students know why it is important to know something and making sure they understand the work. Classroom accommodations aid the accommodations the teacher is doing. These can including posting the schedules, providing written worksheets, providing clear written directions. Students can even use a colored strip to place under sentences when reading. The student can do many things to aid in organization and time management. They can create a daily to-do list that they can check things off of. Break large projects into smaller parts and create checklists to complete the smaller sections. Keep baskets of supplies close by and a copy of books at both home and school. Work and test taking should have different ways for the student to complete and ensure they have plenty of time. Use software to aid the students such as speech-to-text and mind-mapping. These small accommodations can go a long way to help a student with executive functioning issues succeed.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
