Description
Pushing a task before a student is ready often leads to shutdown, avoidance, or escalation.
The Executive Function Readiness Check is a teacher-facing tool designed to quickly assess whether a student is ready to begin — and what kind of support might help before demands increase.
This tool supports task initiation, regulation, and follow-through by helping adults pause, observe, and respond intentionally.
