Improving Academic Executive Functioning for Autistic Middle Schoolers is an intervention
manual comprised of a structured curriculum for clinicians with the primary goal of providing
support and strategies to autistic adolescents and their parents/caregivers.
Achieving Independence and Mastery in School (AIMS) is an 8-week intervention that
targets the development and improvement of academic executive functioning skills (e.g.,
problem solving, organization, planning) to facilitate positive outcomes at home and at
school. AIMS consists of weekly 90-minute sessions attended by both the caregiver and
their autistic adolescent in the outpatient setting. The evidence-based, manualized curriculum
includes content and handouts for each session that can be easily administered by
clinicians.
This book is an integral purchase for clinicians who seek to fill the gap in academic support
for autistic adolescents. Not only does it provide clinicians with direct instruction on
strategies targeting executive functions that are challenging to autistic teens, but it also
incorporates the caregiver as a coach who can continue supporting the teen in utilizing these
essential skills as they transition to high school and the adult world. The views expressed by
the authors do not reflect those of the National Institutes of Health, the Department of
Education, or Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
