Book description
Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to understand and
assess children and adolescents struggling with executive functions deficits
Essentials of Executive Functions Assessment is designed for
professionals who want to learn how to administer, score, and
interpret popular assessments of executive functions, including the
Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), the Behavior Rating Inventory of
Executive Functions (BRIEF, BRIEF-SR), the Delis-Kaplan Executive
Function System (D-KEFS), and the NEPSY-II, among others.
Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological
Assessment series, this book is designed to help busy mental
health professionals quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they
need to make optimal use of major psychological assessment
instruments. Each concise chapter features numerous callout boxes
highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative
material, as well as test questions that help you gauge and reinforce
your grasp of the information covered.
Executive functions experts George McCloskey and Lisa Perkins also
provide general techniques that can be used to interpret aspects of
executive functions using tests that are not specifically designed as
measures of executive functions. The book's accompanying CD-ROM
contains interview forms for parents and teachers, student observation
forms, reference material on the BRIEF® and other rating scales,
case-study reference material, and several sample psychoeducational
assessment reports.
