Happy International Dog Day from our Executive Function Institute pups. They help give us calming cuddles when things get ruff.

**Where is this child already organized?**

A student who loses every worksheet may have a perfect system for organizing Pokémon cards.

A child with a “messy” room may know exactly where every art supply is.

A student who struggles with a school binder may manage an entire inventory in a favorite game.

**That’s not irrelevant. That’s clinical information.**

Instead of only asking, “Why can’t they stay organized?” ask:

What makes the systems that DO WORK successful?

Are they more visual? More meaningful? More predictable? Are there fewer categories? Can the child easily see what they need?

Organization skills may already be there.

Our job is to notice where they’re working, and use those strengths to build supports that make sense for that child.

**Start with what already works.** 💙

You know executive function is affecting participation.

You can see the student who can't get started.

The student who loses track halfway through.

The student who has a plan, but can't seem to carry it out.

Or the student who can do something one day and has much less access to that same skill the next.

You know executive function is part of the picture.

**But what do you actually do next?**

Meet the **Executive Function Treatment Builder™ (EFX-TB™).**

EFX-TB™ helps you move from what you're observing to clinical reasoning—and from clinical reasoning to an individualized treatment plan.

Start with what you're seeing.

Then work through what may be influencing participation, what needs support, what may need to be explicitly taught, and where intervention can begin.

Use EFX-TB™ to help create:

✓ Individualized treatment ideas
✓ Access supports
✓ Teaching strategies
✓ Present-level language
✓ Meaningful goals
✓ Progress monitoring

And because executive function doesn't happen in isolation, EFX-TB™ helps you consider **interoception, regulation, strengths, context, and participation** along the way.

You bring the clinical expertise.

**EFX-TB™ helps you turn what you're seeing into what you do next.**

Founding User access is available now.
