ADHD Consulting for Education Professionals

2-hour workshops | Small groups by year level (e.g. Kindy–Year 1, Year 2–4)

Executive functioning — not IQ, not attitude — is the single biggest predictor of school success for students with ADHD. But not every child struggles with the same skills. This workshop is a collaborative, diagnostic process: we work with educators to identify which executive functioning skills children in a specific cohort are lagging in, then build practical, classroom-wide solutions together.

Working in small, similar year-level groups means strategies are developmentally appropriate and immediately usable. And here’s the key insight: when we design classrooms that support children with ADHD, every child in the room benefits.

The six executive functioning skills we explore:

• Organisation — building systems that actually stick
• Task initiation — understanding why starting is the hardest part
• Working memory — reducing cognitive load for all learners
• Planning & prioritising — breaking down the overwhelm
• Time management — making time visible and concrete
• Emotional regulation — co-regulation tools for classroom moments

How it works:

• Small groups of educators with similar year levels meet together
• We identify the specific EF barriers most present in their cohort
• We co-design classroom strategies that are embedded, not bolted on
• Educators leave with a tailored toolkit — not a theory, a plan
