"Work on planning and problem solving"
is not a treatment plan.
Grab the free Executive Function Treatment Guide for Medical SLPs: real tasks, real cueing strategies, and documentation language you can use with your very next patient.
Free PDF Based on a live Demo & Discuss session
with Michelle Hoefnagel, M.S., CCC-SLP, BC-ANCDS.
You know workbook exercises aren't cutting it anymore.
Your patient can sequence picture cards all day long.
Then they go home and can't figure out how to get to their follow-up appointment by 2:00.
Executive function is one of those areas where grad school handed you a definition and wished you luck. So most of us end up recycling the same decontextualized worksheets and writing goals like "improve problem solving to 80% accuracy," while quietly wondering if any of it transfers to the patient's actual life.
This guide fixes that. It's built on one idea: we don't treat cognition in a vacuum, we treat it as it impacts someone's ability to engage in their life.
What you're getting
(and yes its actually free)
-
A plain-language EF breakdown you can use to explain initiation, inhibition, working memory, and flexibility to patients and families without the jargon
- Ready-to-run functional tasks like the resume comparison task for working adults with TBI, the $30 diabetic-diet grocery plan, and bus route planning to make a 2:00 appointment
- Metacognitive cueing scripts, the exact pre-task, mid-task, and post-task prompts that coach insight instead of just marking right or wrong
- A documentation template that captures cueing, strategy use, and reasoning depth, so your notes finally reflect the skilled work you're doing
- A four-phase progression framework from education to generalization, plus setting-specific adaptations for acute rehab, outpatient, home health, and telehealth
- Recommended PROMs and assessments straight from the Q+A, including the FAVRES, Neuro-QoL, and LCQ, with links
Built by a board-certified,
expert for you.
This guide comes from "Functional Approaches for Complex Executive Function Deficits," a Demo & Discuss session led by Michelle Hoefnagel, M.S., CCC-SLP, BC-ANCDS, inside The Medical SLP Collective. Michelle is board certified in neurologic communication disorders, and her whole approach can be summed up in one line from the session:
"Every session is a dress rehearsal for something they'll face outside of here."
