Executive Functioning Assessments
These assessments are designed to uncover how learners think, process, and manage tasks across key executive functioning domains. Each provides clear, actionable insights to guide targeted support, coaching, and intervention.
Executive Functioning Remediation Assessment 1 (EFRA-1)
Created for younger learners (ages 6–10), this observer-report tool helps parents, teachers, and professionals identify early executive functioning challenges. EFRA-1 highlights symptoms and emerging patterns in working memory, attention, emotional regulation, inhibition, planning, and flexibility — and provides age-appropriate recommendations for home and school.
Executive Functioning Remediation Assessment 2 (EFRA-2)
Designed for students ages 10 and up, the EFRA-2 is a self-assessment that empowers learners to reflect on their own executive functioning experiences. The personalized report offers targeted intervention strategies, classroom accommodations, coaching goals, and remediation pathways to support academic and personal growth.
Executive Functioning Coaching Assessment (EFCA)
A unique tool for professionals working with teens and adults, the EFCA gathers insightful data to guide coaching sessions and long-term goal setting. This assessment helps identify patterns in motivation, task initiation, emotional regulation, follow-through, organization, and mindset — offering strategies for real-world application, self-awareness, and habit development.
Student Processing Inventory (SPI)
Uncovers how students learn and process information so educators and parents can tailor instruction to match their strengths and preferences.
These assessments guide strategic coaching, support IEP and 504 planning, and provide powerful insights for academic success.
