This pack includes student-facing tools and professional documentation supports, designed to work together:

Student & Instructional Supports

• Task Initiation Support Sheets (step-by-step entry into work)
• “I’m Stuck” support page for re-entry without pressure
• Task Breakdown templates to reduce overwhelm
• Flexible daily planning sheets
• Non-linear workflow map that normalizes pauses and return

Observation & Documentation Tools

• Executive Function observation overview

• Executive Function intervention log
• Executive Function support summary page for team review

All tools are designed to be used flexibly, quietly, and responsively — without increasing demand or stress.

Executive function challenges in the classroom often show up as:

• Difficulty starting work
• Avoidance or shutdown when tasks feel overwhelming
• Inconsistent performance
• Getting “stuck” despite understanding the material
• Fatigue during multi-step or cognitively demanding tasks

These challenges are frequently misunderstood as lack of motivation or defiance.

This resource reframes executive function as capacity, not willingness — and provides tools that reduce cognitive load and support flexible entry into learning.

• Focuses on task initiation and workflow, not compliance
• Reduces cognitive load at the point where students most often struggle
• Normalizes pauses, fatigue, and re-entry
• Uses neutral, professional language for documentation
• Designed for educators, therapists, and support teams working together

Planning is treated as a support, not a test.

Pausing is recognized as part of learning.

Starting matters more than finishing.
