    Details
    Although many educators associate deficits in executive function (EF) skills with students on the autism spectrum, the reality is that many young people struggle with EF. In fact, it is accurate to say that all young people are learning EF skills as these skills are not fully developed until people are well into their twenties. In addition, several clinical conditions, such as attention deficit disorder, fetal alcohol syndrome disorder, intellectual disability, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social communication disorder, specific learning disability, Tourette Syndrome, and traumatic brain injury often have components of EF challenges. 

    Additionally, individuals with anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia may also exhibit deficits in EF. The good news is that there are evidence-based strategies that can be used at home, in school, in the community, and in work situations that can significantly improve the executive functioning of individuals who struggle in this area. FLIPP the Switch: Strengthen Executive Function Skills is a practical book written for parents and educators by parents and educators. The target audience is anyone who works with young people ages 3-22 who have difficulties with organization, flexibility, impulsiveness, or problem-solving. Readers will learn about executive function (EF) and how EF skills contribute to success in school, at home, and at work. Most importantly, readers receive specific instructions, templates, and how-to scenarios for 25 strategies with five strategies for each of the five FLIPP components flexibility, leveled emotionality, impulse control, planning, and problem solving. This book is indispensable for anyone who wants to minimize behavior challenges, maximize on-task behavior, and support positive social-emotional development in a child or student.

    About the Author: Sheri Wilkins, Carol Burmeister,

    Dr. Sheri Wilkins has worked in the field of education for over 30 years at the preschool, elementary, high school, and university levels. She has dedicated her professional career to serving students with disabilities and building the capacity of educators to better serve this unique population. After her son Dominic sustained a mild traumatic brain injury in a car accident in 2010, Sheri gained first-hand experience in the power of environmental modifications and metacognitive strategies to support people who struggle with executive functions. It was this personal experience that led to her work with parents of children with disabilities, specifically children who are inflexible, emotional, impulsive, and poor at planning and problem solving. 

    Carol Burmeister, M.A., has a life-long passion for supporting neurodiverse individuals, their families, and the schools and community settings that serve them. Her professional experience includes serving as a paraeducator, general education teacher, special educator, program specialist, university instructor, and consultant across a variety of educational settings. 

    Armed with the knowledge that evidence-based intervention practices for children with ASD are the basis on which effective programs are built, Carol served as a reviewer on both the National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders’ and the National Clearinghouse on Autism Evidence and Practices’ updates on evidence-based practices. For the past several years, her work has focused on the crucial topic of executive function (EF), helping students and parents as well as educators understand the complexity of social, academic, and behavioral challenges that accompany EF deficits and how teaching specific skills in childhood and adolescence can have a positive impact on adulthood. 

    Carol has presented at regional, national, and international conferences and has authored several articles on this topic. In addition, she is co-author, with Dr. Sheri Wilkins, of the book, FLIPP the Switch: Strengthen Executive Function Skills as well as FLIPP the Switch 2.0: Mastering Executive Function Skills from School to Adult Life for Students with Autism, co-authored with Dr. Wilkins and Dr. Rebecca Silva. She is also an editor and a contributing author to Life After Lockdown: Resetting Perceptions of Autism. Carol currently serves on the board of the Panhandle Autism Society in North Idaho.
