Review Quotes: "Finally! We have been struggling since elementary school to find a method to successfully teach my son with Asperger Syndrome executive functioning skills, and this is the program that works! Learning the R.O.P.E.S. addresses specific executive functioning deficits in a systematic and common sense manner. The skills are taught i a way that makes sense to him, ad he can use them throughout his lifetime across all domains including school, college, work-place and in the home. This is a wonderfully well-thought out program with excellent strategies. Lynne Weiissmann, Parent
