This is a 60–90 minute live presentation designed to be hosted by a school and offered to parents in their community. It covers what executive function actually is, how it develops, and what it looks like when it's lagging — at home, in routines, in relationships, and around school demands. Parents leave with a working understanding of the brain science behind what they're seeing, concrete language to use with their child, and practical strategies they can start using the same week.

The workshop includes a follow-along handout and a take-home workbook with over 100 activities, a screen time framework, visual schedule tools, and resources for continued learning. A feedback QR code is built in so schools can capture parent response data.

Every child's profile looks different, and the support they need should reflect that. These workshops and trainings are built around what parents and teachers are actually seeing — the patterns that keep coming up at home and in the classroom that aren't getting better with the usual approaches. Rather than offering a generalized framework and calling it a solution, the goal is to help the adults around a child understand what's driving what they're seeing, so the support they provide is informed, consistent, and actually matched to the individual in front of them.

This training is designed for teachers, support staff, and school leadership who want to move beyond outdated behavior management approaches and understand what's actually happening when a student struggles with starting tasks, staying organized, managing transitions, or following through. Most classroom systems are built around prompting, reminding, and correcting — all of which create prompt dependence rather than building the internal skills students need.

Initial training covers:

• What EF is and how it actually develops (not the outdated model most educators were trained on)

• What lagging EF looks like in the classroom versus what it gets mistaken for

• The difference between can't and won't — and why it matters for how you respond

• How the classroom environment either supports or undermines EF development

• Practical, research-backed strategies teachers can implement without overhauling their entire approach

When paired with the parent workshop, schools create a consistent framework across home and school — which is where real generalization happens. Students aren't getting one message at school and a different experience at home. That alignment is what makes the support stick.
