Executive Function describes a set of mental processes that helps us connect past experience with present action, which is important for successful adaptation and performance in real-life situations. Written by a respected expert and presenter on executive functioning, Essentials of Executive Function Assessment equips mental health practitioners (school, clinical, developmental/pediatric, neuropsychologists, educational diagnosticians, and educational therapists) with all the information they need to administer, score, and interpret assessment instruments that test for executive function deficits associated with a number of psychiatric and developmental disorders.
