1. How do you know the difference between a child with EF disorder and one who had parents who did not teach adequate self-control or listening skills?

Q 2. The skills you describe seem to be common among every person. Why is this considered a “disorder”? I know many, many people who have these issues to varying degrees. They are not considered ill.

EFD may well be the missing piece for my child with Aspergers, fetal alcohol exposure, ADHD…pre-conceived IEP’s do not address the needs she has, nor does she fit perfectly into any one classification/diagnosis. An IEP that included the many suggestions from your webinar would do well. I realize each state is different (I’m in Jersey), but is EF disorder a DSM-IV diagnosis and has it been used as a classification for children in school?
