Frequently Asked Questions

Review our questions below and send us an email if there's anything that was not addressed.

Is this more research-based or practical?

Both. I go deep into the research around executive function skills and peer-reviewed, brain-based science, and dive into practical strategies I used in the classroom as a public school special educator.

Can you customize?

Yes, share your request using the button below, and we can work to make sure this is a great fit for your staff.

Who are you? Why did you create this?

My name is Sean McCormick, and I'm a former public school special education teacher. I learned that the best way to help students succeed is by helping them develop their executive function skills. I am also the founder of Executive Function Specialists and the Executive Function Coaching Academy.
