Compiling pointers for a friend whose 3rd grade daughter has executive function issues. Snowflake details inside. Are there any good resources available (preferably free) for how to help their daughter?

The issues are specifically related to doing her assignments or other tasks, getting distracted while working on things, transitioning between tasks, doing multiple things at once and decision-making. Some examples: when the next item on her list is "practice violin" and her violin is not available, she will become paralyzed rather than moving on to the next thing. When she is doing something such as walking quickly, she cannot process instructions that are given to her.

Both parents work full-time and have limited resources, so "hire a nanny with expertise in executive function" or "quit your job so you can help your child full-time" are not on the list.
