Rodney needs checklists to help him with his memory and organizational skills.Rodney's morning is already stressful and it begins with being in the school bus on time.

Rodney would benefit from a checklist and getting a goodnights sleep, this would help with stress and organizational skills.

Rodney's typical morning appears to require him to get up and ready for school in time for the school bus. This entails several things: he must get up on time; he must get himself dressed and ready; he must have his breakfast; he must have his backpack packed and ready with everything as well before the bus arrives. Definitely planning and organization are a huge requirement each morning for Rodney. He must also be focused and paying attention to the time in order to not miss the bus again. Rodney could benefit from a checklist so he does not miss anything needed in the morning. Organizing his things for the morning would be helpful as well. This could be laying out his clothes and shoes and placing his packed backpack by the door ready to go for morning. Additionally, he could benefit from a schedule so he could keep himself on track and on time for the bus.

Rodney struggles with remembering where he put things and staying on task in the morning. He could benefit from having a specific place his backpack goes, visual aids like a checklist and an alarm that could go off whenit is time to go to the bus. He needs to work on being more scheduled to help him plan out his time efficiently. He needs to get enough rest, and can, if he has a scheduled time he starts his homework, and writes his homework down in a planner at school. This will help his executive function skills as he will be more orderly and can control his feelings.

Rodney's executive deficits when it comes to organization, task initiation, memory, and impulse control could all impair his ability to successfully complete his morning routine. He needs to wake up on time, avoid distractions, remember his backpack, homework, and other supplies for the day, eat breakfast, get dressed, and catch the bus, all of which require multiple executive function capabilities.

Rona Reed

Rodney has a hard time organizing, transitioning from one thing to another and arranging tasks, which are all related to impulse control. He needs an alarm clock to get him up on time, a schedule of tacks to complete in the morning, a designated spot for his homework/backpack and an alarm for the bus.

Rodney needs tools to help him stay organized and on task. There are many points where he can derail.

A typical morning for Rodney requires him to have the skills of executive functioning. He struggles with time management, organization, muscle memory. motor memory, and impulse control. Rodney needs to be able to have visual ques, alarms, detailed notes to help him remember the sequence of his morning. From the time he gets up he struggles with managing his time, forgetting important things for his day, and his muscle memory. He needs visual ques to help remind his brain what he needs to be successful. When he is struggling with organization, sequencing, and muscle memory it will trigger him to feel disregulated and off. He needs support to help him learn skills to stay regulated.

Memory, impulse control, and the ability to process choices, prioritize, and make choices based on how options.

Executive function is defined as the skills and abilities needed to perform certain tasks that involve planning, sequencing, and management among other things
Rodney has all type of difficulties in his daily routine in life including school life .

Rodney's typical morning routine seems to involve a lack of organization and preparation for the time. He often forgets where his items needed for school are placed, and gets stressed out as the time to leave for the bus. A morning checklist would be useful for Rodney to ensure that he has every material he will need for his school day, as well as a designated location that he can place all of his school related materials so that he knows where everything is without having to search the entire house .Adult need to help him to make reminder for his each activities and home work so he can do everything time to time. Morning alarm can helps him to wake up on time and that way he can't face hassle in the morning . This type of few things helps him to make his life better without stress.

Kalindi

8/15/2018 03:48:59 pm

Rodney often gets stressed and hassled in the morning because he has trouble planning things he has to do before getting to school. He has trouble with routine things like eating breakfast, packing his homework, packing a lunch, and finding his backpack. Adults and parents can help Rodney with this problem by providing a visual schedule full of reminders placed somewhere in the house or his room where he can easily see and follow along. This will help him stay on track and get all the things he needs to do done.

Helen

It looks like things are piling up for Rodney and its start from the begging of the day or sometime from before by not getting a good night sleep. It will take Rodney and someone else to help him organized and get some tools. Often when you have a executive function disorder you need others to have that roll in your like until you mature enough and get familiar with strategies that help you improve. The first thing would be to be aware so that Rodney will appreciate the help. From personal experience I think this is something that also affects self-esteem, so by figure out Rodney's strength we can empower him and use them to help the functions that he is lacking on.

Kim

8/27/2018 01:43:34 pm

Rodney Struggles so much in his daily life due to EFD. Is is sort of a round robin effect with what he does effects everything during the day. The lack of sleep starts the day with troubling effects from the start. He needs to have a list, structure, and timers to help him guide him through his daily tasks. A good role model and person to remind him of things would also be effective, I think.

Linda

8/27/2018 11:21:00 pm

Rodney needs to plan his morning routine and remember to follow the steps but any glitch along the way throws all the other steps off. He needs to organize and remember the routine tasks like dressing and the less routine tasks like taking a special project with him. A checklist would help him remember items originally but may not if he does something like set his backpack down. He may have to deal with impulse control if he has trouble continuing his routine through distractions like a silly dog or lost book. It seems like he will have to replace some internal function with external cues and so much adult input. A schedule of tasks and a visual checklist may help along with more time to accomplish tasks. It's just so hard because one just keeps getting further and further behind because of the struggle which causes the next issue.

Cortney Nelson

He struggles for lack of sleep and would do better with more rest or a check list or something helpful during the day to help him achive his goals for the day.

Linda

Rodney has a typical morning schedule but struggles due to his difficulty with organization and working memory. He needs to get himself ready without issues with distraction (impulse control) and task initiation. He must gather his phone and backpack and get to the bus on time. Visual checklists and a schedule (externally organizing) would help him as would reminders and more sleep. He needs a place where he always puts his things. This is the cycle kids get into with these issues.

Deborah Simons

9/13/2018 01:41:30 pm

Rodney needs an adult to help him set up routines and supports through a checklist, timers, etc during his morning routine. He needs a specific location for doing homework, and a routine of putting homework in his backpack as soon as he's finished with it. In the morning a checklist of eat breakfast, brush teeth, get dressed, pack your backpack, and a picture of the time he needs to have each item finished by will help him get organized.

Laura

9/15/2018 04:53:52 pm

Rodney's mornings are difficult and stressful due to his lack of skills in planning and organizing, remembering past experiences and information, focusing, and transitioning. He could benefit from cues such as an alarm for waking up, and another one for leaving the house to catch the bus.In addition, having a daily planner for homework that needs to be completed would be helpful. A wipe board with "things to remember" 1. backpack 2. phone. 3 lunch. etc could make a big difference in a successful morning. Finally, his parents need to follow-up with his progress and hold him accountable for correcting his own behavior.

Sara Lyford

9/23/2018 03:48:36 pm

Rodney struggles with his mornings and depending on the night before, he may benefit from more sleep. As for his routine, he needs a checklist for what he should do in the morning and in the afternoon/evening. Verbal cues from his parents can help, though as as a parent, I know kids don’t always want to hear that. Without a plan or schedule it makes sense that he’s getting lost in his daily life.

Jennifer Hagyard

Rodney has trouble remember things. Organizational tools would help him as well ask a routine schedule so he knows what he must achieve and helps him stay on task.

Paige

A lot of Rodney's tasks are the same every day so he needs to set a routine for himself in order to be successful.

Leeann Ward

10/9/2018 03:34:07 pm

I think that Rodney needs to have a dry erase board with all of his things he needs to do and have everyday and he would have to check them off when he is finished with a task. Hopefully then he will know to do in what order and then he can get enough sleep to help with his tasks.

Fartun Yusuf

10/15/2018 06:03:38 am

Rodney has a issue remembering important things and his parent can help him write down a checklist that he need to follow and remaind him every time he should follow the schedule and to be organize and finish you homework on time after you are done put it in you school bag. Rodney need check list with instruction and make sure he follow the step

Matthew Dickman

10/16/2018 10:12:05 pm

Rodney struggles from lack of sleep from the night before and I think he would benefit from getting more sleep. I also think that he would benefit from a checklist and a place for all his things I think that would set him up for the most success.

sandra

Rodney, could write down what he needs, put everything he needs in the morning together the night before, get more rest

Krystle moore

10/28/2018 02:19:22 pm

I think Rodney would benefit from getting everything ready the night before and getting a good night sleep. He should have a checklist for morning time so he can stay on track and get to the bus on time

Chantel

I think Rodney would benefit from have a checklist and getting everything organized the night before that way mornings are less stressful. It will also let him get a better night of sleep.

Ametezion Wersi

11/1/2018 10:07:22 pm

Rodney is required to remember his work, phone, and prepare for school before he catches the bus every morning. Since one of his biggest challenges with executive function is organization and memory, It would be helpful for his mom to help him pack his backpack the night before. Repeating behaviors and keeping up a routine helps with memory. walking him through a day where he is guided and uses checklists to remember and organize things will definitely help him in the long run.

Thushari Wasanthika

11/7/2018 11:01:26 am

Rodney is lack of skill of planning and organizing. He needs a check list or reminders to do his day to day activities.He is waisting his time to find his ting like back pack, home work sheets. the doesn't do the time management. so he doesn't get enough sleep. then he gets frustrated. to avoid those thing he can use check list, alarms and reminders and make a time table for his day to day life.

lori

11/8/2018 06:47:22 pm

Rodney would benifit with a schedule and checklist, this would help him with his memory and organizational skills. Helping him organize and set up his backpack, homework, phone in one area for the morning. getting a better nights sleep would allow for him to get up a bit earlier, helping to stay on task in the morning.

vicki

11/8/2018 06:55:48 pm

I feel Rodney would do well to have a list and organize all his things close to the front door .then by placing everything in the same place each night he is creating a routine this will create a calmer environment and give him more time ,in the morning.

Rosalie

11/10/2018 04:23:09 pm

Rodney needs to sit down with an adult and come up with a morning routine and a list of strategies to complete his routine. He would benefit by using physical cues such as an alarm clock, a timer for possibly breakfast or washing up, sticky notes or pictures, designated places for his backpack and procedures like loading it the night before. All of these will help him with working memory and organization skills.

Helen R

11/16/2018 08:31:45 pm

Getting off to a successful start in the morning requires Rodney's executive function skills. He needs to get up on time, dress, eat breakfast, get his backpack and homework and be at the bus stop on time.
The skills that are required for this are time management, organization, memory skills, prioritizing and organization. To help Rodney could use a check list of what he needs to do, visual cues such as what time he needs to do each activity or where he needs to put things. He needs to be rested in the morning. Preparing things for the next day such as putting his homework in his backpack and putting it by the door would be helpful.

Ryan

11/18/2018 05:33:48 pm

Rodney needs to give himself some reminders to help keep him on track. A white board at home would help him with tasks he needs to do daily. He can check off everything he needs to get done and then mark it off each day. Homework can be tracked on a sheet kept in the front of his binder. He could make a list of things that he needs to get done in each subject and the due date. For his school work, the teacher may need to provide him with more time to complete a task or write material for him to copy at his desk rather than from the board.

Norma

11/25/2018 12:10:15 pm

Rodney has trouble getting everything done and staying on task, so it would be helpful for him to have a checklist so that he has something to guide him and help him complete everything the needs to do. If he follows the checklist and physically checks of things as he goes, he will have a better time at night and well rested in the morning.

Rodney has a hard time focusing on his daily tasks. He needs to keep a running list of everything he needs to do during he day. He also needs to be reminded during the day to see if he’s staying on task. Also a good night sleep would help. Maybe get his schoolwork put in his backpack the night before. And in a certain spot to get in the morning.

Jodi

Rodney has a hard time with planning and organizing. He would benefit from a schedule and a checklist. Sticking to a schedule would also help him get to bed earlier, which would help him be more successful each morning. Having a planned routine would help him know what to expect and stay organized well enough to get out the door on time.

Rodney needs alarms, a calender and/or a planner to write down all his assignments for the future and the week. also making a schedule and trying to stick with it is a good idea. make sure he stays focus and giving reminders also helps

Planners are great for school for someone with executive function problems. As someone who also suffers from executive function problems you can write down stuff into a calendar and plan out into the future. also setting alarms and reminders to get stuff done helps alot too. all of these tips can really help someone with these problems

Caleb Pitts

12/12/2018 07:58:10 pm

Rodney feels discouraged and unorganized about the way he does daily tasks. He does not have an organized process on how relates to social cues either. Each kid is different, but he needs a guided approach on his own specific needs to help him relate to others, and approach each task on top of the task itself.

LeeAnn

12/14/2018 07:36:27 am

On a typical school day Rodney needs to wake up on time and refreshed. He needs to be organized so that he has everything he needs all together. He needs to be able to recall his routine to get up, get dressed, brush teeth, get breakfast and make it to the bus on time. Rodney could benefit from checklists and visual cues for routine and schedule to help increase his executive function.

He could really use a check list to stay on take. Also 8-9 hours of sleep and a healthy smoothie in the morning may benefit him as well.

Amy Kelley

12/18/2018 01:36:49 pm

Rodney's morning routine entails getting himself up and ready for school. He must wake up on time, get himself dressed, eat breakfast, brush his teeth and wait for the bus to arrive. The executive functions that effect him are panning and organizing, focusing and paying attention and transitioning from one task to the other. He could benefit by preparing the night before with showering, laying out his clothes, preparing his backpack, getting to sleep on time and setting an alarm. He could make a checklist of all that he needs to accomplish in the morning and set another alarm for when he needs to be ready for the bus.

Christina Pflugrath

12/18/2018 05:32:47 pm

Rodney seems to have trouble remembering what to take with him when he leaves the house in the morning. Having a checklist of things to get done before leaving and what to make sure hw has would help him. Even having some of the tasks done right away. for example after he was done with homework he should have put in his backpack right away then he would not have to worry about it in the morning.

Rosa Meza

12/19/2018 03:28:09 pm

Rodney could definitely benefit from a checklist and getting a good nights sleep, this would help with stress and organizational skills. Maybe even setting things out the night before.

Keira M

12/22/2018 06:21:35 pm

Rodney could really use some assistance with his morning routine to help him stay organized, focused, and on time. I think it would be beneficial for him to have a visual schedule with times (and a timer) for each task that needs to be accomplished. Also, maybe a designated labeled place for his backpack, lunch bag, homework, etc. Ideally he would have everything in it's designated place the night before. and a checklist on the door before he walks out each day. Due to his Executive Function Disorder, he has trouble planning, remembering, and organizing, which makes his days so much more challenging, frustrating, and exhausting.

Sana

His daily activities look the same everyday, so make a check list would be helpful.
Make a daily schedule simple so that he can easily keep the same rhythm.
Getting enough sleep is must!

What does it usually entail and what skills, habits, or thought processes are necessary in order for him to complete the routine? How does Executive Function play a role? Discuss!Rodney struggles with decision making and organization.

Rodney struggles with routine and organization. He is responsible for completing his homework, putting his finished homework in his backpack, and then in the morning getting his backpack on and to the bus on time.

Rodney struggles in many areas. He has a hard time staying on task and doing homework even when he doesn't want to. Then because of this, his homework piles up and he cannot decide where to start. He ends up sleep deprived because he has to stay up late to finish required assignments.

Rodney has a hard time recalling where he has put things, such as his backpack and homework.

Executive function, is the needed skill to accomplish those tasks. Check lists, timers, and routine would all be beneficial. A checklist of what needs to be done, timers to remind him to start, and routine ... for example: one homework is done it immediately goes in his backpack. His backpack is always by the door following homework. Also, homework is always done at the same location, possible a desk or kitchen table.

A typical day for Rodney seems very stressful. He has several things he has to accomplish every morning that seem to have him stressed out, forgetful and frustrated. He has to wake up and get dressed and find his homework and get his backpack all by a certain time to catch the bus..He struggles with executive function is his organization of tasks and completing them by a certain time frame.

Kelly

12/28/2018 11:54:04 am

I believe he would benefit with something visual for him to remeber his morning tasks, then eventually it will become normal and he will be able to remember his morning routine with out any hiccups

rachel

it seems that Rodneys routine is a little all over the place. he's not very organized, he seems to not really understand boundaries with friends. check lists and visuals and planning would really help out his routine and daily life

Charlene

12/29/2018 11:05:07 am

It seems as though in the morning rodney gives himself time to get ready for school and get right on the bus. I think he would benefit better with time management and organizing

Pam White link

12/29/2018 11:07:15 pm

Rodney has difficulty keeping on track in the morning. Staying up late the night before doesn’t help either. His mind wanders & loses track of his things. A chart indicating when he is expected to do specific tasks in the morning would help keep him on schedule and in a calmer state of mind.

Emily F.

12/30/2018 02:11:23 pm

Rodney's morning routine requires him to get up, get dressed and ready for school, remember all his things (his phone, keys, homework, other school work and things for after school activities, etc), and get to the school bus on time. He needs to be organized enough to have all those things ready and probably be in the habit of doing things in a set order so it's easier to do everything by muscle memory. He would probably benefit from having a checklist or visual reminder so he won't forget anything.

Merritt Hanley

12/30/2018 06:20:34 pm

Rodney's routine requires him to have executive functioning skills. He must wake up on time, get ready.remember the things he needs for his day at school and get to the bus on time. In order to do this, he must be organized and remember all that is necessary for him through that day. Using a checklist or a planner I think could benefit him immensely.

Kimberlee

12/30/2018 10:35:45 pm

A visual chart of morning tasks will help him identify what needs to be done. Charting how long each task takes will help him identify how much time he can take and still be ready for the bus. Practice always improves success. It takes time to learn new habits.

Nancy

12/31/2018 01:41:47 pm

1. Consider a typical morning routine for Rodney. What does it usually entail and what skills, habits, or thought processes are necessary in order for him to complete the routine? How does Executive Function play a role? Discuss!

A typical morning routine for Rodney would include waking up on time to get ready for school, packing his backpack, and remembering to bring his belongings with him onto the bus to school. Rodney will need to remember each step he will need to complete to be ready to head out the door and onto the bus on time. Something I think would help Rodney is to place a visual chart he can check off or remind himself that these are things he will need to do and what order to do them in. By following this routine Rodney will eventually find it easier to do all of the steps without having to look at the chart because we will form positive habits/executive function skills.

Alexander Potts

1/1/2019 12:58:47 pm

Rodney is required to be organized and have effective working memory in the morning. If these tasks are difficult for him then he can develop checklist to remind him of what he needs in the morning as well as have designated places to put objects of importance. Also, the addition of a calendar for projects due as well as plans of actions would be helpful.

Consider a typical morning routine for Rodney. What does it usually entail and what skills, habits, or thought processes are necessary in order for him to complete the routine? How does Executive Function play a role? Discuss!

Rodney's typical routine in the morning includes getting ready for school and making it out to the bus on time with all of his stuff. He needs to be able to use his time appropriately to make sure he can gather things like his backpack, phone, and homework, as well as get something to eat and get on the bus. Executive function plays a huge role because he needs skills such as time management, working memory, organization, and self-regulation. Remembering where he put his stuff the day before is difficult for him, so placing his things in the same spot every time can be helpful. Using visual cues like a schedule on the wall with each thing he needs to accomplish would be helpful. Timers on his phone can give him reminders of what time it is so he is not late for the bus. All of these skills and habits will take a lot of practice, but will help him tremendously in his daily life.

Debbie Kinney

1/5/2019 04:59:41 pm

Rodney's typical morning is getting ready for school and making to the bus stop on time.
By preparing himself the night before, having his cloths laid out, back pack ready to go with phone in it , homework in it and all objects put in same place the night before. This way he has already started his day off knowing he is organized and ready to head out the door after he is dressed and eaten a nutritious breakfast.
Having a bulletin board for visual cues on what he needs to do daily may be very helpful.

Brittany Zeman

Rodneys morning routines are hectic due to his lack of executive functions including his lack of organization and memory. Rodney will benefit from a list or checklist to use in the mornings as well as sleeping more at night.

Maeghan

Rodney's morning is very unorganized. I think a checklist would benefit him in the mornings, so that he won't forget anything and end up being late. It would save him time and stress. He also needs better time management.

Ghida

2/8/2019 08:43:20 pm

Rodney would benefit from waking up earlier than usual, and start his morning routine by following steps written on a chart prepared the day before. By time, he will get better at finishing his task until it becomes a habit for him.

allison Jager

3/19/2019 12:26:54 pm

Rodney would greatly benefit from having a routine checklist to keep him organized, on task and on time. Having a specail place to keep him next day items that are put there the night before would really help with his morning routine. Having a reminder alarm set for five minutes before the bus arrives would give him the time he needs to organize his school bag and be out the door on time so that he doesn't miss his bus

Malissa

4/4/2019 07:52:40 pm

Rodney is usually misplaced an item and he begins to worry about his bus pick up. In order for him to complete his routine he needs a list . Once it is written down he can check off what he has done.

Maureen R Wight

4/9/2019 01:54:20 pm

Rodney's care giver needs to set up a daily check list for him. As he gets comfortable with a schedule, he will become more organized and the stress will be less.

Rodney's mornings require him to be able to get up in the morning, get dressed, make breakfast along with getting together his things for school to get to the school bus on time. Some things that would be helpful for him would be to get a good nights sleep, have a specific spot for him to store his backpack so he knows where to put it everyday . that way he's not having to lose time searching for it and he'll be able to have time to eat breakfast and not worry about missing the school bus. Some other things that would be helpful is taking better notes or asking his teacher for some help so he knows what's required for his assignments and not waiting until the last minute to do his homework that way he can get the rest he needs for school
