Research has also documented the presence of executive functioning deficits in ASD (Ozonoff et al. 2005). These
deficits may impede the general problem solving and organizational skills necessary to be successful and organized
in school. However, despite universal acceptance of this deficit and need for attention to it in education settings, relatively little research has been generated to identify ways that this factor informs intervention for a best programmatic ‘‘fit’’ for the learner with an ASD.
