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 experts in the area of executive functioning, Essentials of Executive Functions 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 functions deficits associated with a number of psychiatric and developmental disorders.

GEORGE McCLOSKEY, PhD, is Professor at and Director of School Psychology Research in the Psychology Department of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. LISA A. PERKINS, PsyD, is a school psychologist for the Westport, Connecticut, Public Schools and maintains a private practice at the Family Study Center, Inc., in Danbury, Connecticut.
