What is the EFCS?

The EFCS is a valuable resource for assessing executive functioning skills and for defining specific remedial approaches. Designed by Dr. Erica Warren, this screener identifies the likelihood of an executive functioning disorder and also provides insights into specific executive functioning skills across the domains of working memory, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and higher-level executive functions. A detailed report provides visual data, explanations, and remedial resources, while an online, user dashboard provides group analytics and greater insight into each learner's unique challenges. Finally, for those who want to learn more about executive functioning, we also offer a rich array of training videos, podcasts, and handouts.
Our goal is to assist individuals, educators, clinicians, and coaches in understanding and addressing the challenges related to executive functioning skills and determining if formal testing, cognitive remediation, or coaching is needed. By doing so, we aim to enhance overall functioning and success in various aspects of life, including education, work, and daily tasks.
