Tier 2 Application: Executive Function Applied Practice
Thank you for your interest in Tier 2 of the Seeds of Learning® Executive Function Specialization Pathway. Tier 2: Executive Function Applied Practice is designed for professionals who are ready to move beyond foundational executive function knowledge and into applied assessment, interpretation, intervention planning, and clinical or educational decision-making. This 10-week experience includes 30 hours of applied learning, graduate credit through Ashland University, mentorship, case-based application, and a final competency assessment. Because this tier includes mentorship and applied case work, space may be limited and applications will be reviewed to ensure that Tier 2 is an appropriate fit. Please complete the application below. We will review your responses and follow up with next steps.
The first Tier 2 course is scheduled to run from September 14–November 23, 2026.
