OP knute974 Member K Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 683 controlled chaos	We are working with a new OT for DD9, our gifted dyslexic. He suggested that we consider an executive function assessment. What should we expect? What tests are involved? I'm supposed to talk to him more tomorrow but I have no idea what questions to ask. Any info would be appreciated.

Hope this helps!!
