Executive FunctioningInnovative Approach
Integrating the development of routines and positive, productive habits into our Executive Functioning
program
• The power of habit
• Evening and morning routines
• Developing habits one at a time
• Prospective Memory – remembering to remember
Developing Productive Habits
Cue
Routine
Reward
Cue: Walking into bathroom
Routine: Brushing teeth, taking shower, combing hair
Reward: Tearing tab off post it/positive feedback/feeling of accomplishment
Routines practiced over and over become habits
Sample Evening Routine
Cue: Opening laptop (routine is desktop background)
Routine: Check calendar and pauseAsk – What’s coming up for me tomorrow? What do I need to anticipate?Check weather/set alarmClothes for tomorrowPhone on charger
Habit of the Month
Identify a stable cue: right after supper
Develop a routine:go to room
open assignment bookdecide what to start onbegin working
Identify reward:feeling of accomplishmentpositive feedbackan hour of gaming
May need support to do routine until it begins to become habit. Habit formation takes time and consistency. The habit, the cue, routine and sometimes the reward must be student’s decision.
