About
EFToolkit
Translating EF so that your curious kid (and you - my curious adult friend) can understand and use it.
Fact: EF develops beginning at birth.
Also Fact: we do not need to wait until the teen years to begin to build and scaffold EF.
Congrats on finding us. We begin - now.
Kid / Human first
Connection over Compliance
We believe kids come as “full humans,” meaning -
- making systems + rules with them
- honoring their asynchronous development
- celebrating differences and nurturing self-advocacy
Know thy brain
My lived experience / identities [former + current] include: neurodivergent, parent, partner, BIPOC, speech therapist, public educator, unschooler.
What are some of yours - if you feel safe to share?
Does it matter? Yes. Do we need to be the same? No. Do we all add to the conversation - so much yes.

We strategize because EF = life
if you identify as a
neurodivergent or neurotypical caregiver
AKA curious adult
Resourcing
As a caregiver - we give from what we have and sometimes from what we don’t have too.
That’s the sobering reality. We may live in the both/and - holding up that which is hard + that which is beautiful.
Exploration
I believe our innate wisdom lies at the intersection of knowing and living - executive functioning x nervous system regulation x play.

AKA curious kid
Interest-led
As neurodivergent humans, we have interest-led nervous systems.
What’s your current SpIn (special interest)?
Let’s start there.
Exploration
I think you can learn to think about your thinking, make really cool plans - and still have it feel like play.
Tell me something you’re sure I don’t know about.

*but applied unconventionally
[yes, I just made it sound like chapstick]
