Dawn Flanagan, Ph.D., has a great set of tables and examples for how to translate cognitive ability results into recommended strategies. A handout that she gave at a MASP conference in Winnipeg is great to look over when considering what to write in the recommendations section of a psychological report. She differentiates between Direct Remediation (remedial instruction for identified deficits), Accommodations (how teachers change instruction to help a student avoid the effects of a deficit), Compensation (strategies for which the student is responsible), as well as Modifications (i.e., reducing the number and/or complexity of outcomes). View the handout attached below.

If you want even more fantastic intervention ideas, purchase the Essentials of Planning, Selecting, and Tailoring Interventions for Unique Learners book by Mascolo, Alfonso, and Flanagan published in 2014 by Wiley. It covers interventions for reading, written language, mathematics, English language learners, executive dysfunction, memory problems, and much more! The book also includes a CD with case studies, forms, tests, lessons, handouts, etc. Here is a link to the Amazon.ca store: Amazon.ca online store
Another good resource is the handout called Intervention Strategies for Cognitive & Academic Deficits by John Seaman, Ph.D., which can be downloaded from the Materials section of the Regional School Psychologists Website. It also has great strategies and accommodations for CHC abilities.
