Executive Function, The PDA Brain, & What Every Co-Pilot or Navigator Needs to Know

What if supporting executive functioning isn't about getting the Pilot to try harder, but helping the Navigator understand the flight conditions? Join Dr. Jennifer Huffman as she introduces her Pilot & Navigator framework, a fresh, neuroaffirming approach to understanding executive functioning in PDA. Learn why anxiety, sensory processing, and autonomy shape access to executive functioning, discover what happens when the Pilot's cockpit instruments go offline, and walk away with practical strategies to create the conditions where learning, regulation, and connection can take flight.

Dr. Jennifer Huffman

Dr. Jennifer Huffman isn't just an expert—she's lived it. As a neurodivergent neuropsychologist herself, she brings both clinical depth and personal understanding to everything she teaches. With 14+ years running her private practice and extensive training in pediatric neuropsychology, she's spent her career working with autistic children and adults, specializing in complex presentations including PDA, ADHD, OCD, and trauma. She's consulted with parents, schools, and individuals across the US and UK, and she approaches every conversation as a 'Brain Detective'—helping people understand how their brains work best through a low-demand, strength-based lens. When Dr. Jennifer presents, you're getting the real deal: comprehensive professional training, years of clinical experience, and the perspective of someone who genuinely gets it.
