Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

60 | Executive Functioning & Student Coaching in Autism | Dr. Norrine Russell
Q: How can families approach note-taking and study strategies as students progress into high school?
Encourage self-testing and practice testing rather than relying solely on study guides. Use tools like Quizlet, create and utilize outlines, and ensure memorization is practiced through active retrieval and application, not passive review.
60 | Executive Functioning & Student Coaching in Autism | Dr. Norrine Russell
Q: What are common supports beyond basics that families should know about for middle school and beyond?
Prominent supports include clear deadlines and where to find assignments across portals, advocating for accessible notes (via IEP/504), and ensuring accommodations travel across grades. The discussion also highlights transitioning planning and consistent school-wide calendars to reduce cognitive load.
60 | Executive Functioning & Student Coaching in Autism | Dr. Norrine Russell
Q: So what is executive functioning, and how should parents approach supporting their child?
Executive functioning is a set of life skills—impulse control, planning, time management, organization, and follow-through—that help a person be the 'CEO' of their life. The conversation emphasizes explicit teaching, metacognition, and tailoring strategies to the child's strengths and school context.
58 | Autism Advocacy, IEPs & Empowering Neurodivergent Voices | Mandy Pinckley
Q: So Mandy, what does turning awareness into real action look like in practice?
It starts with showing up, sharing your lived experience, and finding collaborative spaces where decisions are made, rather than waiting for permission or a perfect opportunity.
53 | Autism Parenting, Acceptance & Fatherhood | Dr. Jonathan Chism
Q: With those interventions, what all therapies did you use and how have they impacted you and your son?
The primary therapy was ABA, which helped with potty training and certain skills, but it didn't cure autism; over time the focus shifted to understanding his needs, using AAC to support communication, and recognizing the value of connecting with him as a unique person.
