Passport to Learning: a cognitive intervention for children with organizational difficulties.

Many children who are referred for therapy with school-related problems experience difficulty with impulsivity, task completion and the organization of information and ideas. School performance often improves when children learn to approach tasks systematically and to use cognitive strategies. In this paper, a short term, small group program is described that targets children's cognitive deficiencies and emphasizes a strategy-based, problem-solving approach to intervention.
