Are you a teacher seeking to improve your ability to support students with executive function challenges?
Or a school administrator seeking high-impact professional development programs for your hard-working teachers?
You've come to the right place! Learn more about our executive function coaching program.
Is the course a curriculum I can teach to other students?
This course will teach you how to run the process of providing executive function coaching sessions to students — it is not a curriculum that you teach, but rather a process you use to help them manage school.
As part of the process, you will also learn how to facilitate Family Team Meetings with students and their caregivers to increase overall buy-in to your approach.
How many hours does it take to complete the course?
The course comprises a total of 12 hours of mandatory components—6 hours for live or self-paced classes and 6 hours for homework assignments outside of class.
Additionally, there are 3 optional meetings you can attend, each totaling 3 hours. Therefore, if you opt to attend the optional meetings, the course could take up to 15 hours to complete.
How do I obtain my certificate?
Once you complete all the modules, click on the course, “Live certification program” and click complete, and continue to go all the way through until you’ve completed all modules.
At that point, you will also get the badges which you can share on LinkedIn or any other social media platform.

About Me
Hey! I'm Sean 👋
I'm a former public school special education teacher who realized that executive function skills are more important than knowing when George Washington crossed the Potomac.
Since then, I've made it my mission to teach anyone who will listen about how to develop these key life skills.
In 2020, I founded Executive Function Specialists to ensure all students with ADHD and Autism have access to high-quality online executive function coaching services. We offer online EF coaching and courses to help students and families.
Realizing I could only reach so many people through coaching, in 2021 I started the Executive Function Coaching Academy which trains schools, educators, and individuals to learn the key strategies to improve executive function skills for students.
In 2023, I co-founded of UpSkill Specialists, to provide neurodivergent adults with high-quality executive function coaching services.
When not pursuing my passions through work, I love spending time with my family, getting exercise, and expanding my brain through reading. You can connect with me on LinkedIn.
