Executive Function Express™ Professional Training
A 6-Hour Professional Training in Executive Function
Move beyond teaching executive function skills in isolation and learn to understand what a child is struggling to do, what may be influencing it, and where support or intervention should begin.
The Executive Function Express™ Professional Training gives therapists, educators, and other professionals a practical, neuroaffirming framework for understanding, supporting, and teaching executive function.
Rather than viewing executive function as a fixed set of skills a child either has or does not have, you'll explore how executive function changes across activities, environments, demands, relationships, and internal states. You'll learn to consider interoception, regulation, strengths, communication, environmental conditions, and available supports alongside executive function skills.
Most importantly, you'll learn how to take what you observe and use it to decide what to do next.

This Isn't Another Executive Function Course Built Around Definitions
Executive function is complex. Knowing the definitions of initiation, working memory, planning, flexibility, or inhibition doesn't necessarily tell you why a child is struggling or how to help.
Executive Function Express™ gives you a visual, practical framework for making these invisible processes easier to understand.
Inside the training, you'll explore:
The Executive Function Express™ framework, and a new way to visualize how executive function skills work together rather than treating them as isolated abilities
Core executive function processes, including initiation, working memory, planning, organization, cognitive flexibility, response regulation, time awareness and management, perspective taking, metacognition, persistence, and more
Executive function access, including why having a skill is not always the same as being able to access and use it in a particular moment
Interoception, regulation, and the body, including how internal state, energy, and available capacity can influence executive function
Strengths, patterns, and contrasts, and how differences across activities, settings, people, and demands can provide important clues about what supports a child
Behavior as information, helping you move beyond assumptions about what a behavior means and consider the many factors that may be contributing to what you observe
How children learn executive function, including the role of experience, movement, meaningful activities, visual supports, reflection, and repeated opportunities to use skills
Supports, scaffolds, and teaching strategies that make invisible executive function processes more visible and accessible
Clinical reasoning you can actually use, helping you move from “I know executive function is involved” to “Now I understand what may be happening and where I can begin.”
And perhaps most importantly:
You won't leave with just more information about executive function. You'll leave with a framework for thinking about it.

Module 5: Strategies, Supports & Independence
Learn how purposeful supports and scaffolds can increase access while creating opportunities for children to develop strategies, skills, and greater independence.
Module 6: Looking Beyond Behavior
