Executive Functioning Screening Toolkit for Children and Adolescents

A practical bilingual tool for early identification, understanding and support

This clinical toolkit offers a comprehensive and easy to use framework for screening executive function difficulties in children and adolescents. Developed by Dr Nistor Becia MBE DL, Chartered Psychologist in the UK, with contributions from Psychologist Liliana Otiman, it combines professional accuracy with real world practicality for clinicians, psychologists, educators and multidisciplinary teams.

Specifically adapted with sensitivity to the needs of children with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), this toolkit recognises the unique ways these profiles present in real life clinical and educational settings.

Designed in a bilingual format (English Romanian), the toolkit includes:

Parent and Teacher Checklists for ages 6 to 10 and 11 to 16

Student Self Reflection Forms (for older children)

Scoring instructions and interpretation guidance

A diagnostic interpretation framework for ADHD profiles, ASD profiles and mixed executive function patterns

Clear, practical summaries for clinical and educational reports

This resource supports early screening, functional formulation and intervention planning, helping professionals identify challenges in attention, working memory, planning, organisation, time management, emotional regulation and flexibility.

Whether used in clinical practice, schools or educational support services, this toolkit bridges research and everyday practice, making executive function assessment more accessible, culturally relevant and affordable.
