Young people, even without documented disabilities, may struggle with executive function (EF) skills such as mental flexibility, emotional regulation, impulse control, and problem-solving. Many young people struggle with them, as EF skills aren't fully developed until well into our twenties.

This second edition of FLIPP the Switch continues to provide educators and parents with powerful strategies that lead to greater success in school and into the future. It includes classroom and school-wide adaptations, with examples showing how each strategy can support and teach EF skills to all students. We have meticulously expanded and updated all strategies and research. This book provides the tools needed to succeed throughout school years and into adulthood.
