Say hello to the SEFF Executive Function Screener & Questionnaire (SEFF-Q), a step-by-step process that goes beyond typical standardized tests to see a child’s EF skills in real-life situations. Confidently identify EF strengths and challenges, so that you can create personalized and effective treatment plans that address a student’s root needs.

The Caregiver/Teacher Observation Version (blue) is perfect for younger children and completed by parents or caregivers, teachers, coaches, tutors, and other professionals who have direct contact with the child.

Also available is The Self-Assessment Version (green):  ideal for older kids, young adults, and adults who can provide insight into their own EF skills. Client/Student is intended to complete this themselves.

The Screener helps you quickly identify if a student needs further executive function evaluation. The Questionnaire allows you to examine a student’s executive function skills in more depth and detail, identifying specific areas of strength and need.

Designed for use by clinicians and professionals who work with children, the SEFF Executive Function Screener & Questionnaire is a must have resource for seeking a better understanding of a student’s executive function skills, including:

• Perception
• Attention
• Verbal & nonverbal working memory
• Inhibition
• Cognitive flexibility
• Initiation
• Self-modulation
• Self-monitoring and self-correcting
• Time sense & pacing
• Execution
• Anticipating
• Analyzing
• Comparing & contrasting
• Generating
• Planning
• Prioritizing
• Balancing
• Organizing
• Decision-making

Skills are organized by the Sumpter Executive Function Framework (SEFF), which categorizes EF skills into three key categories: Root Skills, Leaf Skills, and Flower Skills.

The SEFF-Q Kit includes:

• Scoring & Reference Guide:  
  • Introduction to executive function
  • How to use the SEFF-Q
  • Color-coded answer key for easy analysis
  • How to interpret results
  • Specific verbiage suggestions for reporting results
• 20 Screeners:  Part 1 - 22 questions, Part 2 - 8 open-ended questions

The SEFF-Q assessment resource is intended to be a functional observational measure of a dynamic assessment approach. It is not a norm-referenced assessment. Norm-referenced assessments compare a student to other students.  Dynamic assessment examines the individual student in order to meet them where they are.  Meeting students where they are is a core principle of the SEFF approach to executive function needs.
