Executive functioning doesn't have to feel impossible.
Starting tasks. Remembering steps. Switching from one thing to another. Managing time. These everyday moments can feel overwhelming for autistic teens and adults—not because of lack of effort, but because executive function skills need the right supports.
This toolkit gives you those supports.
Who this is for:
Autistic teens and adults who want real EF tools that reduce overwhelm
Caregivers and educators supporting autistic people with executive function challenges
Anyone looking for practical, shame-free supports (not "fixes")
What you'll get:
8 complete support sections with fillable templates, visual cards, scripts, and step-by-step guides:
✅ Task Initiation Tools – Start with 2 minutes, micro-steps, body doubling plans, and "when I can't start" troubleshooting
✅ Planning + Breakdown Templates – Turn big tasks into small steps with simple worksheets and daily/weekly planners
✅ Working Memory Supports – Brain dumps, packing lists, "before I leave" checklists, and supportive reminder scripts
✅ Transitions Support – Visual cue cards, 5-minute warnings, and decompression routines for switching activities
✅ Time Supports – Timers, time estimates, buffer planning, and "running late" scripts
✅ Regulation + Overwhelm Tools – Overwhelm scales, prevention plans, break menus, sensory toolkits, and calm space setup
✅ Communication Scripts – For caregivers, teens/adults, school/work, and boundaries (consent-based, low-pressure language)
✅ School + Work Support Packs – Homework plans, project planners, study guides, group work roles, meeting prep, and email templates
Plus: Print-and-cut visual cards, routine strips, break cards, checklists, and more.
What makes this toolkit different:
💛 Neuroaffirming – Built on support, not compliance
💛 Low-pressure – "Tiny" progress counts
💛 Realistic – Designed for variable capacity days
💛 Flexible – Personalize, simplify, or skip anything that doesn't fit
💛 Regulation-first – If a tool adds stress, switch to a regulation tool and return later
File Details:
📄 14 PDF files included with printable templates, visual cards, scripts, and guides
🖨️ US Letter format (8.5 x 11 inches) – Print at home or at your local print shop
📏 70+ pages of tools, templates, scripts, and visual supports
How to use this toolkit:
Pick one focus (starting tasks, planning, transitions, time, memory, or regulation)
Choose 3 starter tools (1 starting tool + 1 planning tool + 1 regulation tool)
Set up one home base (binder, clipboard, folder, or device)
Use tools as real-time support (not as a "perfect system")
Success looks like:
✨ Feeling less stuck when starting tasks
✨ Having clear next steps (even tiny ones)
✨ Knowing what helps and what makes things harder
✨ More support, less conflict
✨ Building self-trust: "My brain needs support" instead of "I'm failing"
This toolkit is designed to make life easier, not stricter. If a tool increases pressure, modify it, simplify it, or skip it. Support works best when it's offered with consent and choices.
