Executive function group therapy

This executive function group therapy curriculum for adolescents uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, and focuses on key functions needed for adult success, such as: self-advocacy, flexibility, time management, motivation, goal setting, developing plans, monitoring progress. Guided practice begins with concrete interventionist support and moves to interventionist cueing, self-cueing, and finally automatic use of the skills without support.
