About the Book

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 caregivers and autistic adolescents. 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 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 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.

Review :
“Achieving Independence and Mastery in School (AIMS) is a well-designed, evidence-based intervention that targets the executive functioning challenges most commonly experienced by autistic youth. It offers clear, practical strategies grounded in neurodiversity-affirming principles, designed to build confidence and self-advocacy around school success. This manual is an essential resource for clinicians and educators supporting autistic students in therapeutic and academic environments.” Deanna Dow, PhD, Founder & Clinical Director, Spectrum Psych LA “Autistic adolescents experience significant difficulties in school because of executive functioning problems. Achieving Independence and Mastery in Schools fills a critical gap by offering the rare program developed specifically for autistic youth and rigorously tested in multiple studies. AIMS allows clinicians to support parents and autistic children in working with each other, to learn, practice, and master practical skills that are proven to help autistic students in school.” Alex Holdaway, PhD, Research Psychologist, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia “Providers can deliver the AIMS curriculum with fairly little preparation, and see results. This program was built to address the organizational challenges that so often prevent autistic young people from reaching their goals. There are very few programs that are this comprehensive and clear.” Susan W. White, Ph.D., ABPP, Doddridge Saxon Chairholder in Clinical Psychology and Director of the Center for Youth Development and Intervention, the University of Alabama
