Intermediate Essential for Living (EFL) Workshop with Troy Fry, BCBA (Co-Author of the Essential for Living)
This full-day, pre-conference workshop is designed for clinicians who already use or understand Essential for Living (EFL) and want to get more out of the curriculum in real-world practice.
Led by Troy Fry, BCBA, this session goes beyond test administration to focus on meaningful assessment-to-intervention pathways, ethical decision-making, and practical implementation for learners with complex communication, behaviour, and support needs.
If you’ve ever asked:
-
Am I prioritising the right EFL skills?
-
How do I move from assessment to intervention more efficiently?
-
How do I align EFL with team-based practice and family values?
This workshop is for you.
This is not an introductory session. Instead, it’s a deep dive for practitioners who want to implement EFL with confidence, clarity, and clinical integrity.
This workshop is ideal for:
- Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs, CBAs)
- Behaviour Support Practitioners (PBS)
- Developmental Educators and senior clinicians
- Allied health professionals working with learners with complex needs
Prerequisite:
Participants should already be familiar with the Essential for Living framework and terminology. If you’re unsure, please email [email protected] to discuss further or completing 8-hour online training introductory training with Dr Patrick McGreevy here.

Why this conference exists:
The Connected Care Conference exists to advance ethical, rights-based practice in behavioural and developmental support.
Across behaviour analysis, PBS, developmental education, and allied health, professionals are increasingly called to balance:
Evidence-based intervention
Human rights, dignity, and autonomy
Neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-assumed care
Real-world service systems such as schools, families, and the NDIS
Too often, these elements are treated as competing priorities.
Connected Care was created to bring them together.
This conference supports practitioners to deliver care that is not only effective, but respectful, just, and rights-affirming, ensuring that the people we support are safe, heard, and meaningfully included in decisions that affect their lives.
