You know they’re capable.
But it can be hard to know how best to help.
Perhaps you know something isn't quite working at school, but you're not really sure what's getting in the way.
You want to support them — but what would actually help?
And when you talk to school, how do you move beyond “they're struggling” to a clearer conversation about what they need to flourish?

The EF Learning Profile helps you build a fuller picture — their strengths, what they find challenging, what helps, and what they want you and school to understand.
Why an Executive Function Learning Profile?
Because knowing something and being able to do it are not always the same thing.
Executive function helps us turn what we know and can do into action.
It helps us hold information in mind, manage our attention and responses, adapt when things change and keep going towards a goal.
So a young person can be bright, knowledgeable and capable — and still find parts of everyday learning surprisingly difficult.
- They might understand the maths but lose track of the steps.
- Know exactly what their homework is but struggle to get started.
- Have great ideas but find organising them onto the page difficult.
- Revise for hours but struggle to decide what to focus on.
Looking through an executive function lens can help us ask a different question:
Not simply “What are they struggling with?” but “What might be making this harder — and what could help?”
That's the basis of the EF Learning Profile.
EF is more than good grades.
When young people understand their own executive function — where their strengths lie, what makes things harder and what helps — they begin to develop something more valuable than a set of strategies for the next test.
The EF Learning Profile builds self-awareness. The Personalised Action Plan helps turn that understanding into action.
Research by Meltzer and colleagues highlights the relationship between executive function strategies, effective performance, focused effort and self-efficacy.

A diagnosis can give you answers. But it can also leave you asking… now what?
A diagnosis can be hugely valuable. It can help explain why some things have been difficult and open the door to greater understanding and support.
But a diagnosis doesn't tell you everything about your young person.
It doesn't necessarily tell you what they find manageable or difficult during an ordinary school day. Which demands take the most effort. What helps when things get difficult. Or what they wish their teachers understood.
That's where the EF Learning Profile can add another layer.
It gives you a window into your young person's experience of learning — in their own words — and something concrete to take into conversations with school.
Still waiting for answers?
You don't have to wait for a diagnosis to start understanding what might help.
If you're on a waiting list, wondering whether to seek an assessment, or simply know that something isn't quite working, the EF Learning Profile can help identify practical ways to support your young person now.
No diagnosis required. No new label. Just a clearer picture of the young person in front of you.
