Navigating Executive Functioning Screening
In the previous post, I wrote about the importance of executive functions (EF) in school and life.
In this post, I will delve deeper into why screening is important and how to screen.
Why Engage in an Executive Functioning Screening or Assessment?
In essence, this evaluation is a crucial compass for understanding your child’s cognitive ability. It furnishes both strengths and areas requiring attention. Equipped with this heightened comprehension of your child's unique profile, a targeted and individualised roadmap for intervention can be designed as well as fostering more concise and elucidated cooperation with educators and therapists.
How to Assess EF Competencies?
Professionals, including neuropsychologists, psychologists, counselors, and educational therapists, have a variety of assessment tools at their disposal.
At The Learning Nest SG, we utilize the Executive Functioning Competency Screener (EFCS) for targeted intervention. Here are 3 key advantages:
Active Self-Reflection: The screener employs a self-assessment questionnaire, encouraging learners to actively engage in self-understanding and personal growth.
Comprehensive Evaluation: It provides insight into critical domains such as working memory, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and higher-level functions, providing a comprehensive analysis.
Insightful Reporting: The resulting detailed report offers visual data, explanatory insights, and remedial resources, facilitating a profound understanding of each learner's unique challenges.
