What School Professionals Say

“The workshop was amazing! My fifth-grade students were so engaged and asked many questions at the end. As a teacher, I also learned about strategies that I can use with my students with time management and Executive Functioning. The presenters were very grade-appropriate and knowledgeable. They were able to answer all questions asked. I feel that we greatly benefited from the executive functioning workshop and presentation!”

Implementing a Structured Executive Function Curriculum

Training is most effective when supported by a robust framework. We help schools develop and deploy an executive functioning curriculum that integrates seamlessly into daily instruction. Rather than treating EF skills as an add-on, our program structure ensures these skills are woven into core subjects.

Strategies for Teaching Students with ADHD & Learning Differences

Neurodiverse students, particularly those with ADHD, often face the greatest challenges in traditional classroom settings due to insufficiencies in working memory and impulse control. Our training empowers special education and general education teachers alike to move beyond basic accommodations. We teach behavioral management strategies and active engagement techniques that support the unique wiring of students with ADHD, helping them build the core skills needed for success.
