Are they really lagging behind in their ability to manage all the sensory input in their environment?
Or is it more around learning and memory?
And sometimes it's all of that, right?
Um, but at least it helps us say, okay, this is what we need to be looking for, because if your child is struggling with executive functioning, say, and all of the subcategories under that.
Then we know that that's probably where they're getting tripped up in their day.
There's expectations around executive functioning skills that they don't have yet.
And so when they bump up against that in the environment and there's no understanding of that, then they become frustrated, angry, shut down, whatever it might be, those secondary behaviors get really, really amped up.
And the longer that porness of fit is in place.
The more intense those secondary behaviors become.
So once that parent can make that connection, then they can say, oh.
Okay, now I know how I need to accommodate my child, or at least I have a starting point, right?

stuck points in his day where those challenges are coming from and what that behavior is communicating.
That behavior is communicating pain, discomfort, I can't do this, this doesn't feel good.
All of those pieces for him that he can't articulate.
But now with my detective work I've been able to figure out what I might be able to do about.
And so that's why I work with parents.
And not the child.
The child is who they are, right?
