What Makes This System Different

The Neurocognitive EFTech System™ isn’t just more content. It’s a fundamentally different approach to executive function intervention.

The Problem With Other Programs

Most executive function training programs teach you concepts and give you a handful of generic strategies. Then they leave you to figure out the rest. When a complex client walks through your door, you’re on your own, piecing together approaches and hoping something works.

The Neurocognitive EFTech System™ Solution

We built a complete intervention framework where assessment drives intervention, severity determines intensity, and you always know exactly what to do next. Every technique has a protocol. Every protocol has scripts. Every level of challenge has an appropriate response. You’re never stuck wondering what to try.

  • ✓ Key reminders for reinforcement

The Four-Tier Intervention Hierarchy

Match intervention intensity to client need. Start simple, escalate when necessary. You always know what to try next.

Tier 1: Core Techniques

For mild to moderate challenges. Single, focused interventions that address specific EF difficulties. Your starting point for most clients. 58 techniques covering all eight domains.

Tier 2: Synergy Protocols

For moderate challenges requiring layered support. Two-technique combinations that amplify each other’s effects. 37 protocols for enhanced impact when single techniques aren’t enough.

Tier 3: Integration Triads

For significant challenges requiring intensive support. Three-technique sequences with precise implementation order. 32 triads for complex cases needing multi-session intervention planning.

Tier 4: Intensive Sequences

For severe challenges, crisis states, and entrenched patterns. Four-technique progressions representing your highest-level tools. 10 sequences for your most complex clients.

Never Stuck. Always a Next Step.

When Core Techniques aren’t producing results, you don’t guess. You escalate to Synergy Protocols. Still not enough? Move to Integration Triads. Severe presentation? Deploy Intensive Sequences. The hierarchy gives you a clear path forward with every client.

Assessment Drives Intervention

The Functional Skills Screener doesn’t just identify problems. It tells you exactly what to do about them.

Administer in 15-20 Minutes

The 64-item screener can be completed as a specialist-administered interview, client self-report, or collaborative completion. Flexible formats for different settings and client needs.

Score and Interpret Immediately

Simple scoring produces section totals for each domain. The interpretation guide translates scores into severity levels: Minimal, Mild, Moderate, Significant, or Severe.

Know Exactly What to Do

Each severity level in each domain points directly to specific Core Techniques, Synergy Protocols, Integration Triads, or Intensive Sequences. No guessing. Assessment and intervention planning in one session.

Track Progress Over Time

Reassess periodically to measure improvement. Compare profiles across time to demonstrate progress. Adjust intervention intensity based on changing scores.

Severity Level Score Range Recommended Intervention Tier
Minimal 0-7 per section Relative strength. Monitor but no intervention needed.
Mild 8-15 per section Core Techniques with psychoeducation
Moderate 16-23 per section Core Techniques, consider Synergy Protocols
Significant 24-28 per section Synergy Protocols or Integration Triads
Severe 29-32 per section Integration Triads or Intensive Sequences

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Neurocognitive EFTech System™

How do I get access to the Neurocognitive EFTech System™?
The Neurocognitive EFTech System™ is proprietary to NBEFC and available exclusively through board certification. When you complete your NBEFC certification, you receive full access to all 137 intervention elements, the Functional Skills Screener, and all 20 client handouts. The system is not sold separately.
Do I need to learn all 137 elements before I can use the system?
No. The system is designed for progressive mastery. Start with the Functional Skills Screener and the Core Techniques most relevant to your client population. As you gain experience, expand into Synergy Protocols and Integration Triads. You can begin using the system effectively with your first client while continuing to deepen your expertise over time.
Will this work with my client population?
Yes. Every Core Technique includes adaptations for children, adolescents, and adults, as well as specific modifications for populations including ADHD, autism, anxiety, and learning differences. The system is designed to flex to whoever you serve.
Is the Neurocognitive EFTech System™ evidence-based?
The system is grounded in neuroscience principles and evidence-informed practices. Every technique includes a neurocognitive foundation explaining the brain-based rationale for why it works. The techniques draw on established research in executive function, cognitive psychology, behavioral science, and intervention design.
Can I use the Functional Skills Screener for diagnostic purposes?
No. The Functional Skills Screener is a functional screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. It identifies executive function challenges and guides skill-building interventions. It does not diagnose ADHD, learning disabilities, or any medical or psychological condition. If screening results suggest the need for diagnostic evaluation, specialists should refer to appropriately licensed professionals.
How is this different from other EF certification programs?
Other programs teach concepts and provide general strategies. The Neurocognitive EFTech System™ gives you a complete intervention framework with 137 specific elements, step-by-step protocols, specialist scripts, a proprietary screening tool that links directly to interventions, and a four-tier escalation hierarchy. No other certification program offers anything comparable.
Can I share the system materials with colleagues?
No. The Neurocognitive EFTech System™ is proprietary to NBEFC and licensed exclusively to board-certified specialists. Materials may not be reproduced, shared, or distributed. Colleagues interested in the system should pursue their own NBEFC certification.
