The Science Behind Behaviour, an approach which works for everyone

This masterclass brings education providers together to learn how to easily recognise children who have challenges with their executive functions, displaying challenges such as incomplete homework, late to classes and disorganised projects. It will teach about executive functions and the tools and strategies needed in the classroom to make them friendly for neurodiverse learners. The course will also share proven and practical ways to transform your classroom and school into neurodiverse friendly environments.

Executive functions are a family of three core brain processes, inhibitory control, working memory and cognitive flexibility. These three core executive functions work together in different ways resulting in a set of other high-order skills called executive function skills. There are 11 executive functions skills including time-management, organisation, planning, emotional control and response inhibition. This course will take you through 3 micro-modules (less than 12 mins each) designed to help you understand, Basic neuroscience behind executive functioning, How executive function challenges present in young people, How parents and teachers can work alongside their child/student to support the development of these skills.

This webinar focuses on fostering lasting learning habits in students by exploring the neurodevelopmental processes that influence habit formation. By breaking down key executive functions involved in organisation, planning, and self-regulation, participants will gain a clear understanding of why students may struggle to adopt and maintain effective learning strategies. Practical tools and techniques will be shared to help educators and caregivers support students in building sustainable routines that lead to academic success. This session is ideal for professionals working with young people, providing actionable insights to promote long-term learning habits in school and beyond.

Learners in our care can present with executive function skills challenges. These learning differences are often associated with neurodivergence or trauma, which impairs the development of the prefrontal cortex so that learners find it more challenging to develop these skills. With clearer insights into the executive functioning challenges our learners face, learning support professionals can provide tailored screening and support to build self-awareness, identify skills gaps they can work on, and help teachers set work within their learners' zones of proximal development.

This webinar explores Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and mental contrasting to help students create personalised learning strategies. Participants will learn how student-led strategy creation boosts engagement, executive function, and self-advocacy. The session provides practical tools to co-design adaptable strategies that support diverse learners, fostering independence and motivation. Ideal for educators, parents, and professionals, this webinar offers actionable insights to create inclusive, student-driven classrooms where every learner thrives.
