<p>This 3-hour session reviews the higher order skills associated with the ability to engage in independent goal-directed behavior. Planning and impairments in executive functions may result in a number of difficulties or deficits in children, adolescents, and adults. We will review the planning and sequencing of complex behaviors, the ability to pay attention to several components simultaneously, resistance to distraction and inhibition of inappropriate responses, and the ability to persist over a prolonged period are all included in this session. Price includes up to 40 people per session. </p><p>Training orders will be processed within 5-7 business days of order placement. A training consultant will contact you to coordinate your training. Training dates are scheduled no earlier than 5 weeks from order placement.</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Understand key concepts or cognitive skills associated with executive functioning, such as mental flexibility, set formation and maintenance, ability to plan and self-monitor, inhibition, and rule learning</li>
				<li>Recognize the behaviors associated with deficits in executive functioning, such as disinhibition, perseveration, forgetfulness, lack of persistence, anticipatory failure to shift when needed</li>
				<li>Recognize the emotional and cognitive characteristics associated with executive functioning deficits, such as mood lability, concrete thinking, intense overreactions, inconsistency, and inability to self-regulate</li>
				<li>Demonstrate their knowledge of the battery of tests included in the D-KEFS and the component skills and higher order functions assessed</li>
				<li>Isolate specific strengths and weaknesses of the individual being assessed using a process approach</li>

			<p>D-KEFS assesses the key components of executive functions believed to be mediated primarily by the frontal lobe. With nine stand-alone tests, D-KEFS allows examiners to comprehensively assess the key components of executive functions within verbal and spatial modalities.&nbsp;</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Trail Making Test</li>
				<li>Verbal Fluency Test</li>

				<li>Plan coping strategies and rehabilitation programs tailored to each patient&#39;s profile of executive-function strengths and weaknesses.</li>
				<li>Choose from two forms: Standard and Alternate.</li>
			</ul>

			<h3>Features</h3>

			<p>The D-KEFS game-like format is engaging for examinees, encouraging optimal performance without providing &quot;right/wrong&quot; feedback that can create frustration in some children and adults.</p>

			<ul>

				<li>Alternate Record Forms, including alternate versions of D-KEFS Sorting, Verbal Fluency, and 20 Questions tests.</li>

			<h3>Correlates with CVLT-II</h3>

			<p>D-KEFS is correlated with the CVLT-II, providing information concerning the role of memory on D-KEFS performance.</p>

			<p>An important study by Bohnen, Twijnstra, and Jolles (1992) was noted (p. 21) and referenced (p. 385) In the D-KEFS Examiner&rsquo;s Manual (Delis, Kaplan, &amp; Kramer, 2001). In this study, Bohnen et al. collected data from 10 patients (in the Netherlands) who had sustained mild TBIs with post-concussive symptoms that lasted longer than 3 months (the Persistent PCS group) and compared them to mild TBI patients who had recovered from their PCS symptoms after 3 months (the Recovered group). Bohnen et al. (1992) initially demonstrated that the Persistent PCS group performed significantly worse than the Recovered Group on a modified Stroop task that incorporated a switching procedure.</p>

			<p>Dr. Manolo Sedo of Spain recently brought to our attention a second study by Bohnen, Jolles, and Twijnstra (1992), in which patients with acute mild TBI (6 to 14 days post injury) performed significantly worse than a match control group on the modified Stroop task that incorporated a switching procedure.</p>

			<p>We wish to thank Dr. Sedo for drawing our attention to this important study.</p>
