The executive function self-check

Planning, time, getting started, organization, remembering, focus, checking work and flexibility. Sixteen statements for the student and a parent, results by skill, and where to start.

Who is answering?

Sixteen statements, about five minutes. Have the student and a parent each take it, then compare: the differences are often the most useful part. Answers stay on this device.

What executive function means

Executive function is the set of skills that turn intentions into finished work: planning, managing time, getting started, staying organized, remembering, focusing, checking work and adjusting when plans change. These skills keep developing through the teen years and into the twenties, and they can be practiced like any other skill.

A conversation starter, not a diagnostic or a screening for any condition. If you have concerns about attention, learning or your student's well-being, talk with the school counselor, your pediatrician or a licensed professional.
