They reflect how the brain manages attention and self control. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/a9d81e88-07d5-433b-898b-a943e5cc5f05/Screen+Shot+2026-04-01+at+4.42.23+PM.png Student Success Blog - Understanding Skill Struggles and Labels: Executive Function Series Part 6 - One of the most helpful takeaways from Smart but Scattered is that effective support is based on skill needs, not diagnostic categories. Whether a child’s difficulties are driven by executive skill delays, ADHD, anxiety, or a combination, parents still benefit from asking the same question: “What skills are being taxed right now, and how can I support them?” This keeps the focus on function rather than blame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/2bec8e7b-3b23-4ae1-a473-0927ced0005d/Screen+Shot+2026-04-01+at+4.40.49+PM.png Student Success Blog - Understanding Skill Struggles and Labels: Executive Function Series Part 6 - It is not necessary to determine a single cause before offering support. Skill based strategies help children regardless of diagnosis and often make everyday life more manageable for the entire family. When parents focus on supporting skills rather than correcting behavior, children experience more success and less shame. https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/quv55lyp9y4o3zskqjbc982biqz7km monthly 0.5 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/8087e229-1fd2-4ffd-92c4-fe9c7b16d9a2/Screen+Shot+2026-03-24+at+2.31.02+PM.png Student Success Blog - Why Simple Routines Feel Difficult: Executive Function Series Part 5 - Daily routines require children to use multiple executive skills at the same time. A typical routine may involve remembering steps, managing time, transitioning between tasks, regulating emotions, and initiating action without adult prompting. When several executive skills are required simultaneously, breakdowns become more likely. This is not because children are choosing to be difficult. It is because the cognitive load exceeds their current capacity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/07ae6021-c171-48cf-9e75-d4ba93a93dab/Screen+Shot+2026-03-24+at+2.37.09+PM.png Student Success Blog - Why Simple Routines Feel Difficult: Executive Function Series Part 5 - Homework places significant demands on executive function, particularly as children get older.

These supports are adjusted over time as the child becomes more capable. Executive skills develop slowly and unevenly. Expecting full independence before the skill is ready often leads to frustration for both parents and children. Scaffolding fills the gap between current ability and future independence. Importantly, scaffolding is not permanent. It is designed to fade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/962f2eb7-f87a-41ac-b2a9-adf9b3d12905/Screen+Shot+2026-03-10+at+4.06.32+PM.png Student Success Blog - Support That Builds Independence: Executive Function Series Part 4 - A common fear is that supports like checklists or reminders will make children reliant on adults. Dawson’s work shows the opposite. When children experience success with appropriate supports, they are more likely to: Understand task demands Develop confidence Practice skills repeatedly Gradually internalize strategies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/95f78449-880d-4815-a9e6-2ddd036f446b/Screen+Shot+2026-03-10+at+4.06.17+PM.png Student Success Blog - Support That Builds Independence: Executive Function Series Part 4 - Rather than asking, “Why can my child not do this alone?” Dawson’s framework encourages a more helpful question: “What support allows my child to succeed with this task right now?” This question keeps expectations intact while acknowledging developmental reality. https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/rnxdguvyqmf331l5arcyngptvnaadp monthly 0.5 2026-03-12 https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/1alk2rcc6m633md17ulj0tlwn0tdda monthly 0.5 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/9c03d0b4-177d-489e-a968-f9824e445c90/Screen+Shot+2026-03-01+at+4.23.50+PM.png Student Success Blog - When Knowing Does Not Lead to Doing: Executive Function Series Part 2 - For example, a child may be able to explain the steps for getting ready in the morning but struggle to begin without repeated prompts. They may understand classroom rules but have difficulty applying them when they feel frustrated or overwhelmed. They may want to complete homework but become stuck when tasks feel long or unclear. This disconnect is not intentional. It reflects executive skills that are still developing and are not yet dependable under everyday demands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/a9a23057-240f-481f-9417-bb1b0eb5694a/Screen+Shot+2026-03-01+at+4.21.38+PM.png Student Success Blog - When Knowing Does Not Lead to Doing: Executive Function Series Part 2 - When adults assume a child already has the necessary executive skills, responses often focus on increasing reminders, consequences, or pressure. While these strategies may produce short term compliance, they rarely lead to lasting improvement. This is because consequences do not teach skills that are not yet developed. Repeated reminders may also unintentionally shift responsibility onto adults, rather than helping children build independence over time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/2af14905-593a-4a4c-88cd-d0270d001322/Screen+Shot+2026-03-01+at+4.19.05+PM.png Student Success Blog - When Knowing Does Not Lead to Doing: Executive Function Series Part 2 - Rather than asking, “Why does my child not do what they know?” Peg Dawson’s work encourages a different question: “What support does my child need at the moment this task is required?” This shift helps parents move from frustration to problem solving, and from repeated conflict to more effective support. https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/what-executive-function-really-is-executive-function-series-part-1 monthly 0.5 2026-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/f97b7ee9-796a-4737-9b95-f6c32c025a8c/Screen+Shot+2026-02-21+at+2.58.49+PM.png Student Success Blog - What Executive Function Really Is: Executive Function Series Part 1 - For example, a child may: Know how to start homework but feel unable to begin without help Understand classroom rules but struggle to regulate emotions when overwhelmed Want to be responsible but forget materials, lose track of time, or miss steps https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/17381cf8-4e90-46cc-8333-a3a9f0d0f795/Screen+Shot+2026-02-21+at+3.01.06+PM.png Student Success Blog - What Executive Function Really Is: Executive Function Series Part 1 - When executive function is not well understood, children are often labeled as lazy, unmotivated, careless, or oppositional. Parents may feel frustrated or worry that they are doing something wrong. Dawson’s framework offers a more helpful question to guide adult responses: “What skill is getting in the way right now?” https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/why-consistency-matters-behavior-series-part-5 monthly 0.5 2026-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/4e042955-584e-4ec1-9efa-e3dbc9f19250/Screen+Shot+2026-02-08+at+2.50.14+PM.png Student Success Blog - Why Consistency Matters: Behavior Series Part 5 - Why Different Approaches Can Increase Struggles In The Explosive Child, Ross Greene explains that when adults respond to the same difficulty in different ways, children may experience confusion or increased stress. For example: A child may be punished in one setting and problem-solved with in another Expectations may be rigid in one environment and flexible in another Adults may interpret the child’s behavior through different lenses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/e1d45965-0583-4e4b-a8ec-062238cf1963/Screen+Shot+2026-02-08+at+2.45.42+PM.png Student Success Blog - Why Consistency Matters: Behavior Series Part 5 - Collaboration Across Home and School Greene highlights that behavior challenges improve most when the adults in a child’s life communicate and work together. This collaboration may involve: Sharing observations about triggers and patterns Discussing which expectations are most difficult Aligning language used when talking with the child Coordinating problem-solving efforts When home and school communicate regularly, children receive clearer messages and greater support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/0d227aae-9bd7-4a41-ade4-a8871f123ca9/Screen+Shot+2026-02-08+at+2.45.56+PM.png Student Success Blog - Why Consistency Matters: Behavior Series Part 5 - What This Means for Long-Term Growth When children experience consistent, collaborative responses to challenges, they are more likely to: Develop stronger problem-solving skills Improve emotional regulation Build trust with adults Experience fewer repeated behavior conflicts Over time, these skills support not just behavior improvement, but overall well-being. https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/solving-problems-collaboratively-behavior-series-part-4 monthly 0.5 2026-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/3167661d-6310-4ad3-8fd1-9756b6a9af0e/Screen+Shot+2026-02-02+at+11.19.17+AM.png Student Success Blog - Solving Problems Collaboratively: Behavior Series Part 4 - 1. Understanding the Child’s Perspective The first step focuses on listening. Adults seek to understand the child’s concerns or difficulties related to a specific expectation. This involves: Asking neutral, open-ended questions Listening without correcting or debating Clarifying what the child is experiencing The goal is not agreement, it’s understanding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/6f31ac65-9307-4cc0-bac5-f95f9de65467/Screen+Shot+2026-02-02+at+11.16.39+AM.png Student Success Blog - Solving Problems Collaboratively: Behavior Series Part 4 - 2. Sharing the Adult Concern Once the child’s perspective is understood, the adult explains their concern. Greene emphasizes that adult concerns should be: Specific Focused on safety, learning, or well-being Free of blame or judgment This helps the child understand why the issue matters, rather than feeling controlled or punished. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/54267e2d-b539-4b18-8b41-4a26a60ca5e9/Screen+Shot+2026-02-02+at+11.21.21+AM.png Student Success Blog - Solving Problems Collaboratively: Behavior Series Part 4 - 3. Inviting Solutions Finally, the adult and child work together to think about possible solutions. These solutions should: Address both perspectives Be realistic and achievable Be revisited and adjusted if needed This step teaches critical skills such as problem-solving, flexibility, and communication—skills that reduce future behavior challenges. https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/preventing-challenging-behavior-behavior-series-part-3 monthly 0.5 2026-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/2332c33b-151e-48bd-baf8-263d92b3da46/Screen+Shot+2026-01-26+at+11.36.12+AM.png Student Success Blog - Preventing Challenging Behavior: Behavior Series Part 3 - Proactive supports might include: Adjusting how or when an expectation is introduced Breaking tasks into smaller, more manageable steps Providing additional structure or predictability Teaching skills during calm moments, not crises These supports are not permanent accommodations, but intentional steps to help a child build capacity over time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/431d0db4-72ec-4b2b-a642-4636dbe2a6e3/Screen+Shot+2026-01-26+at+11.39.44+AM.png Student Success Blog - Preventing Challenging Behavior: Behavior Series Part 3 - Instead, CPS emphasizes: Teaching problem-solving skills during calm times Practicing flexibility, communication, and frustration tolerance gradually Revisiting expectations collaboratively This approach allows children to build skills in a supportive environment rather than under pressure. https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/identifying-triggers-and-lagging-skills-behavior-series-part-2 monthly 0.5 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/a34c1fc0-d903-4329-8b85-b1d66aaeff65/Screen+Shot+2026-01-14+at+11.50.09+AM.png Student Success Blog - Identifying Triggers and Lagging Skills: Behavior Series Part 2 - Greene describes several skill areas that commonly contribute to behavior difficulties, including challenges with: Flexibility and adapting to change Tolerating frustration Problem-solving Managing emotions Communicating needs effectively https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/cb514724-c814-4055-9b18-e869769b77c4/Screen+Shot+2026-01-14+at+12.43.23+PM.png Student Success Blog - Identifying Triggers and Lagging Skills: Behavior Series Part 2 - This means: Listening without correcting or persuading Gathering information about the child’s experience Avoiding assumptions about intent When adults slow down and seek to understand a child’s perspective, they are better equipped to support skill development and reduce repeated behavior challenges. https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/f9l45jtuyoimzxu4pt1114fpuhe64r monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/37e0f5d4-e91d-4086-a045-41ab93e577b9/Screen+Shot+2026-01-13+at+2.35.57+PM.png Student Success Blog - Rethinking Challenging Behavior: Behavior Series Part 1 - From a collaborative and proactive solutions (CPS) perspective, challenging behavior isn’t something to “fix” in isolation. Instead, behavior is a signal that a child is struggling to meet certain expectations. In other words, when a child explodes, shuts down, refuses, or avoids, it’s often because: The demand placed on them exceeds their current skills They don’t yet have the tools to handle the situation successfully This doesn’t mean expectations disappear, but it does mean behavior should be understood before it’s addressed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/71e3e619-5cba-49f4-aa6b-329f439032b7/Screen+Shot+2026-01-13+at+2.37.52+PM.png Student Success Blog - Rethinking Challenging Behavior: Behavior Series Part 1 - If behavior is driven by missing skills, punishment doesn’t teach what’s needed. It may stop behavior temporarily, but it doesn’t build capacity. In fact, repeated consequences can: Increase anxiety or shame Escalate power struggles Damage relationships Reinforce a child’s belief that they’re “bad” or “failing” This is why many parents and teachers feel stuck doing “everything right,” yet seeing the same behaviors repeat. https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/606gvvch4zkgxmtm5d3s7zr4k7a3ov monthly 0.5 2025-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/ae8fef74-2d18-4e23-9ed4-f77353c47805/Screen+Shot+2025-12-03+at+3.25.21+PM.png Student Success Blog - How to Support Struggling Readers Through MTSS - Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is described as a framework that helps schools understand what each student needs and provide help early.

It is built on two main parts: Professional Practices describe the skills and services that school psychologists provide, including assessment, intervention, prevention, and collaboration. Organizational Principles describe what schools need in place, such as reasonable caseloads, time for teamwork, and systems that support data-based decision making.

It doesn’t mean giving up entirely, but rather lowering the temperature at home by choosing not to tackle every issue at once. https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/understanding-and-overcoming-dyslexia-a-parents-guide monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/61dd922d-afb1-4cf9-99a2-a7c83ec4c977/Screen+Shot+2025-09-11+at+11.09.18+AM.png Student Success Blog - Understanding and Overcoming Dyslexia: A Parent’s Guide - Elementary school years: Speech may develop more slowly than expected Difficulty pronouncing long or unfamiliar words Trouble learning nursery rhymes or songs Difficulty recognizing rhymes or playing with sounds in words Struggles with learning the alphabet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/754f7369-9512-490c-9296-48e3b502adb6/Screen+Shot+2025-09-11+at+11.16.20+AM.png Student Success Blog - Understanding and Overcoming Dyslexia: A Parent’s Guide - Instruction should be: Explicit: skills are taught directly, not left for the child to figure out Systematic: lessons follow a logical sequence that builds step by step Multisensory: children use sight, sound, and movement together to strengthen learning Frequent and intensive: children need plenty of practice and support to make progress https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/smart-but-stalled-how-to-strengthen-your-executive-skills-and-move-forward monthly 0.5 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/6f59e44d-4dbd-4613-884f-7940226ebb9d/Screen+Shot+2025-09-02+at+3.52.47+PM.png Student Success Blog - Smart but Stalled: How to Strengthen Your Executive Skills and Move Forward - Being intelligent does not automatically mean you know how to manage life.

Barkley explains that it’s about moving away from feeling helplessness and instead creating systems that work for you. Young adults with ADHD often rely heavily on memory or motivation, but those are the very things that ADHD makes unreliable. The solution is to externalize structure. That means building routines, reminders, and physical systems that take the pressure off your memory. For example, instead of reminding yourself over and over to pay rent, set up an automatic payment or a repeating calendar alert. This approach is empowering because it shifts the focus from “try harder” to “work smarter with the right tools.” https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/helping-your-child-learn-better-behavior-8-steps-that-work monthly 0.5 2025-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/3dcf0f9e-0262-4b91-a989-ea5c8b735d6e/Screen+Shot+2025-08-12+at+11.24.33+AM.png Student Success Blog - Helping Your Child Learn Better Behavior: 8 Steps That Work - During Special Time: Let your child choose the activity (within reason).

The MTA Study was a large clinical trial funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. It involved nearly 600 children between the ages of 7 and 10 diagnosed with ADHD. These children were randomly assigned to one of four different treatment groups: medication alone, behavioral therapy alone, a combination of both, or usual community care. The goal was to determine which treatment approach worked best—not just for reducing symptoms like inattention and hyperactivity, but for improving real-life outcomes, such as school performance, family relationships, and social skills. More than two decades later, the findings from this study remain some of the most important evidence available to parents, doctors, and educators worldwide. https://www.studentsuccesspsych.com/blog/m9drztnt97syeyeqzoz54ohtsgoghn monthly 0.5 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53deaf005583339394b47b/7e1c7ac3-264d-4b3e-b79c-f013a9fc8f94/Girl+child+testing+at+table+with+psychologist.jpg Student Success Blog - Why Get An Evaluation? - What can you expect from an evaluation?
