  • Executive Functioning Support: Provide planner templates for managing multi-week independent projects.
  • Social-Emotional Awareness: Recognize potential perfectionism, anxiety, or frustration with repetitive routines.
⚠️ De-escalation & Regulation Best Practices
  • Underachievement / Boredom: Watch for disengagement or task refusal during repetitive rote practice.
