Sequencing Tasks vs MN Executive Function Scale

"Sequencing Tasks - Life Skills focuses on the cognitive skill of arranging photos of a task in chronological sequence. All of the pre-made tasks start off with a video demonstrating a life skills task such as "Washing your Hands". After the video is shown, a review of the task is provided using 3 still photos taken from the video depicting each step in the task. For example in the task of "Washing your Hands", the 3 steps would be "Put soap on your hands", "Wash your hands", and "Dry your hands". After the review, the student is presented with the task of arranging the photos in chronological order by dragging and dropping them into a sequence. All of the tasks are broken down into 3 steps. Statistics are gathered and saved for each session. The app gives you the opportunity to preview for free the "Washing your Hands" task. The app contains 4 groups of 7 tasks for in-app purchase. A discount is available for purchasing all 4 groups. The list of tasks are: - Putting on sneakers - Eating a hamburger - Throwing out the garbage - Buying candy - Making scrambled eggs - Talking on the phone - Eating potato chips - Washing your hands - Eating cereal - Putting on a bandaid - Eating cake - Laundry - Making a cheese sandwich - Painting a picture - Brushing your teeth - Scooping ice cream - Sweeping the floor - Eating a banana - Buying soda from the vending machine - Riding in a car - Stapling papers A new option is now introduced into the app which gives you the ability to create your own sequencing tasks with up to 10 steps per task. The sequencing tasks that you create are switch accessible. The app is modeled after our very popular Windows special needs program called "In Sequence - Daily Living Skills".

The Minnesota Executive Function Scale (MEFS) is a subscription service for assessing executive function skills using a brief, standardized instrument administered on an iPad®. Executive function refers to the neuro-cognitive skills needed for successful learning and performance in school, at work, and in life. They include cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control. How does the MEFS work? The MEFS is easy to use, but is intended to be administered only by trained and certified examiners. That is how you can be sure the MEFS results and norms are reliable and valid. The App will be fully accessible to subscribing organizations with secure login credentials provided by Reflection Sciences upon signed user license agreement.
