Support starts with understanding
Supporting executive function development in children requires more than assessment and strategies - it requires understanding, collaboration, engagement, and knowing HOW to teach the processes behind executive functioning. These resources and PD opportunities are designed to help you move beyond the theory of recommending tools and strategies, and into confidently supporting children and families to use executive functions in everyday life.
WE OFFER TWO WAYS TO DEEPEN YOUR EF INTERVENTION PRACTICE: A free webinar and a practical four-part workshop. Whether you're starting to rethink your approach or ready to build confident, clinic-ready skills, there's a session designed for you

Making Executive Function Interventions More Effective:
A Process-Based Approach for Clinicians
This free webinar introduces a practical, clinician-friendly way to think about executive function intervention.
Rather than focusing on lists of strategies, this session unpacks why those strategies often don’t lead to lasting change, and what clinicians can do differently.
This is a foundational session, designed to help you:
Understand why EF strategies alone are often not enough
Identify key factors that impact EF engagement
Shift from giving strategies to teaching the process of executive functioning
Begin using an EF framework to support planning and problem-solving
If you’ve ever recommended systems, planners, or routines and seen them fall away over time, this webinar will give you a different lens to understand why.
Upcoming live session dates:
Thursday 18th June, 2026, 12–1pm (AEST) (this session will be recorded)
