Unstuck for Professionals

Unstuck for Community-Based Professionals

Clinicians find Unstuck enhances their understanding of neurodivergent youth, including their strengths and brain-based differences

Improves emotional recognition and regulation
Reduces meltdowns and shutdowns
Develops flexible problemsolving skills
Supports neuro- affirming practice
Supports families to use Unstuck strategies and supports at home
Is feasible and adaptable to their practice settings
Supports self-advocacy skills

How can professionals deliver Unstuck in a community setting?

In small group
individual therapy

Parents can learn about what their child is learning in Unstuck:

Parent group at the same time as child group
Parents do the online training and therapist follows up with individual or group discussions
Parents participate in 2-3 groups asynchronously

Why Use Unstuck in the community-based clinics?

EF challenges can cause significant distress and left unaddressed, clinicians will be treating symptoms rather than the underlying challenge
Learning about EF and strategies to manage them and self advocate give clients the tools they need to fully realize their potential

Testimonials

“I saw a lot of growth in my students who struggle, not just ones identified with EF struggles, and it motivated my students who are high flyers. I altered the curriculum to be part of a whole class focus for 26 students.”

“It (Unstuck) explicitly teaches students executive function skills and strategies that are good for everyone- adults and kids the same.”

“The skills that Unstuck and On Target teaches students are incredibly valuable. This curriculum works well with the school-wide behavior model.”
