Executive Function Checklist Students Self Assessment, Teachers, & Parents

Download these Executive Functioning Checklists so that teachers, staff, and parents can assess students in self-regulation and self-management skills as well as student self-assessment forms. Executive Functions Checklists are essential documents for IEP meetings, parent-teacher conferences, and student service team meetings. These forms are handy resources to highlight areas of strength and weakness for students who have demonstrate executive dysfunction.

You will use these Executive Functioning Checklists for:

⭐ Data for initial evaluations

⭐ Data for IEP goal updates

⭐ Data for progress monitoring

⭐ Data for student goal-setting

⭐ Data for students' goal setting activities

⭐ Data for parents and students

Executive Functions (EF) are top-down cognitive processes required for goal-directed behaviors (Diamond, 2013; Miller and Cohen, 2001). Executive Function behaviors make it possible to sustain attention, self-regulate, verbally reason, inhibit, behavior, resist distractions, tolerate frustration, consider the multiple outcomes of different behavior, reflect on past experiences and plan for the future.

This executive functioning checklist is divided into these categories:

Thinking Skills

- Flexible Thinking

- Working Memory

- Planning and Prioritizing

- Task Initiation and Completion

- Organization

Behavior Regulation Skills

- Impulse Control

- Emotional Control

- Self-Monitoring

- Sustained Attention

Now includes an Educator Version and a Student Version. Have students assess their own Executive Functioning skills to develop self-awareness.

Prior to meetings, ask teachers to complete this checklist using a +/- to indicate whether the student can access these skills when needed. I like to copy this form in different colors for each quarter. Use this form to show progress and present a more complete picture of students. A Comments section at the end allows for examples and additional information to be included.

Be more prepared for meetings. A must-have for educators.
