Barkley, Russell. Taking Charge of ADHD: The Complete, Authoritative Guide for Parents. S.l.: Guilford Publications, 2013. Print.
This is a great resource! For those of you who like book-learning, this is THE one.
Brown, Thomas. Executive Functions and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Implications from Two Conflicting Views. International Journal of Disability, Development, and Education, Vol. 53, No. 1, March 2006, pp. 35-46. Online at http://www.drthomasebrown.com/pdfs/ef-conflict.pdf Dr. Brown lays out both his and Russell's theories and compares them. Both consider EF to be central to ADHD.
Dawson, Peg and Guare, Richard. Smart but Scattered. Guilford Press, 2009. Print. This book describes the various executive functions (I used their definitions and many of their examples) and offers strategies for addressing deficits in EF. There is a short assessment you can use to identify your EF strengths and weaknesses.
Guare, Richard, Dawson, Peg, and Guare, Colin. Smart but Scattered Teens. Guilford Press, 2013. Print. This book is a companion to the one listed earlier by Peg Dawson and Richard Guare. It specifically addresses teenagers and the issues they bring to the EF dance.
Searle, Margaret. Causes & Cures in the Classroom: Getting to the Root of Academic and Behavior Problems. Alexandria, VA: ASCD, 2013. Print. This is an excellent resource. Not only is it an easy read, the examples are helpful as well.

In case you are one of the hipster generation and like to flit about, sometimes stopping to read but always interested in the info!

www.RussellBarkley.org This is the website of Russell Barkley and contains fact sheets and links to other information.
http://www.dnalc.org/view/2149-Cognitive-symptoms-of-ADHD.html Dr. Phillip Shaw from the DNA Learning Center describes the three presentations of ADHD. These are "what" you see but not "why" you are seeing them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCAGc-rkIfo This 2.5 hour presentation by Dr. Russell Barkley is very informative. Sometimes his language is not person-first and he is wrong about autism but his presentation to parents regarding the "why" of ADHD is spot-on.
http://www.drthomasebrown.com/ Dr. Barkley is not the only researcher highlighting executive function in ADHD; Dr. Thomas Brown also considers EF to be central to the disorder.
Executive: Describing six aspects of a complex syndrome This is an article by Thomas Brown that describes the EF areas in his model. If you go to this document online, you'll have to come back to this website.
ADDitude: Strategies and Support for ADHD & LD This website offers a wealth of information to support students with ADHD. Oftentimes, the information is organized into lists which helps to make the information accessible even to the most EF challenged of us! Be prepared to spend a lot of time here as you can get lost in the links! They publish a free newsletter and have a variety of downloads that you might choose to click on!
Ask the Expert: ADHD in the Classroom - Management Strategies and Student Supports This webinar is provided by the National Resource Center on AD/HD, which is a program from CHADD and the CDC. This webinar is by Sandra Rief and has good information though the format is hard!
FOCUS: A learning strategy to help with sustained attention This comes from Johns Hopkins so it has gravitas! They have identified a learning strategy with the acronym of FOCUS that helps students know what sustained attention (i.e., listening intently) looks like.
Smart But Stuck: Emotions in Teens and Adults with ADHD: This book is from Dr. Thomas Brown. If you go to the link, you can read the first portion of the book online and then decide whether or not to purchase it.
Accommodations that Teachers Should Use: Russell Barkley lists accommodations that teachers should consider for students with ADHD. I am not a fan of the "punishment" items. Assigning worksheets for misbehavior or "what I should have done better" essays or trips to the ED classroom are inappropriate.
