games to help with executive functioning?

puffin

Hello all, 

I have recently started home educating my soon to be seven year old son, who has Aspergers.

I wonder if anyone can suggest any board games etc that could help in improving executive functioning?  he is very bright but needs help in this area.

We have tried "go fish" card game which he loves but needs a few other new challenges now.

Many thanks

Puffin

  • Thanks for your response.

    He struggles very much with organizational skills regards books work and time management.  Flexible thinking towards problem solving and that leads to the odd meltdown as he is a perfectionist too!  it is amazing what a huge impact it can have and i can see how it could cause negative self esteem in a very bright boy.

    It may get better with time, he is still only young.  i do see it getting worse if under stress. Home schooling, i know will alleviate some of that.  It is a challenge but he is really enjoying it so far, makes it all worth while.  I just want to do all i can to improve his  executive functioning so if he ever chooses to go back to mainstream schooling it will be easier for him

    games such as "Guess who" and "RUMMIKUB" have also been suggested but i think that is more social thinking and communication, possibly some memory skills.

    Thank you
