EEC's Free Resources

Executive function skills help us organize, plan, manage time, regulate attention and emotions, solve problems, and follow through on the things that matter. But knowing what to do and consistently doing it are often two very different things.

Effective Effort Consulting has developed a growing collection of executive function resources for students, adults, parents, and educators based on the same strength-based principles we use in our Executive Function and ADHD Coaching Model.

Whether you are trying to help a student manage school more independently, reduce homework battles at home, better understand ADHD, or create stronger systems in your own life, start here.

``I was very impressed with David when he came to speak to our InPAC group at South Shore Charter Public school. His honest and practical approach to assisting children with attention and executive functioning struggles was refreshing. Parents and educators left with a fresh perspective and tangible skills to put into place. His ability to relate to a group of parents that spread across multiple grade levels was impressive. David is a wonderful resource in this area and look forward to utilizing him for future workshops and professional developments.``

~ Matthew - Director of Learning Services

``Dr. David Murphy's presentation on Executive Function Skills for Middle and High School students was highly engaging and informative. As a parent, I was able to takeaway several tangible strategies for managing the individual needs of my children/students. Dr. Murphy's experience in the classroom and his ability to relate to students is evident in his presentation style. He encourages a sense of confidence in a parent's ability to support their student's quest to become more organized, self-sufficient, and independent.``

“I have found it extremely beneficial to have executive function coaching for my son. It has helped in ways that I hadn't anticipated. My son seems more confident, and not quite as overwhelmed with school. He is doing better and handling things much better and likes the success he's having.``

~ Father of a middle school student with ADHD and EFD.
