ADHD EXECUTIVE FUNCTION WORKBOOK: Middle School Edition by Gagak Malam

Does your middle schooler struggle to start homework, lose track of time, forget assignments, or have big emotional reactions that derail the school day? The ADHD Executive Function Workbook for Middle School is a research-backed, skill-building workbook designed specifically for students in grades 6 through 8. Unlike generic ADHD journals or teen planners, this workbook addresses the six core executive function skills that ADHD brains need most — with real lessons, honest self-reflection activities, and practical tools students can use starting this week.
