Are you on the lookout for a comprehensive and effective solution to pinpoint and address executive functioning challenges in both students and adults?

Look no further than the Executive Functioning Assessments available at Good Sensory Learning. These tools provide unparalleled insights into crucial areas of executive functioning, empowering educators, coaches, and therapists to create customized strategies and interventions.

The Executive Functioning Coaching Assessment (EFCA): A Breakthrough in Executive Function Testing

The EFCA is more than just an assessment—it's a pathway to success for individuals grappling with executive functioning difficulties. It explores the component parts of executive functioning and investigates working memory, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and higher-level executive functions. Whether you're an executive function coach, therapist, or an adult facing these challenges, this affordable assessment creates an immediate report that equips you with the tools to develop a targeted approach, offering:

  • Rapid, Web-based Evaluation: Quickly determine the likelihood of executive functioning challenges and receive an immediate, comprehensive report.
  • Personalized Strategies: Discover organizational and technology-based strategies that provide individualized support.
  • Coaching Insights: Access actionable coaching strategies tailored to the specific needs of the individual.
  • Accommodation Suggestions: Receive recommendations for workplace accommodations to support success.

The EFCA features Likert scale questions built on extensive research, incorporating real-life scenarios to ensure respondents can accurately reflect their experiences. Whether completed independently or with guidance, the EFCA offers the flexibility to suit various needs.

EFRA1 and EFRA2: Executive Functioning Assessments for All Age Groups

Understanding executive functioning in children is essential for their academic and personal growth. At Good Sensory Learning, I’ve developed two specialized assessments: the EFRA1 for younger students (ages 6-10) and the EFRA2 for older students (ages 10+). These assessments offer in-depth analysis of key executive functioning skills, such as:

  • Working Memory: The capacity to hold and manipulate information mentally.
  • Response Inhibition: The ability to filter out distractions and maintain focus on tasks.
  • Cognitive Flexibility: The skill to adapt to new situations and adjust strategies accordingly.
  • Emotional Regulation: The ability to manage emotions to stay focused and achieve goals.
  • Higher-level EF: The ability to plan, organize, manage time and reason. 

Again, these tools not only identify potential executive functioning issues but also provide comprehensive reports with visual data representations and links to targeted remedial resources. In addition, there is the option of joining the online portal, where users can monitor progress, access analytics, and manage bulk assessment purchases.
