Before we start…
Everyone has both strengths and challenges in these skills, depending on the situation they are in.
When you are considering the child you have in mind for the EF Questionnaire, be as honest as you can when
contemplating their strengths and challenges. In particular, think about how they handle non-preferred tasks
(the kinds of tasks they don’t particularly like to do).
