“…Before beginning the study, authorization was acquired from Frisch and Rosenblum, the creators of EFORTS (Frisch & Rosenblum, 2014). First, the translation and the cultural adaptation of the EFORTS were accomplished in line with the stages outlined by Beaton et al (2000).…”

“…A well-working set of EF has been shown to be needed for rapid adaptation to unfamiliar and uncertain situations without external guidance/ supervision (Barkley, 2012) and for more independently managing age-related tasks in daily life (Hosenbocus & Chahal, 2012). EF are vital for daily functioning, since they are necessary for juggling multiple tasks simultaneously and considering the time element necessary for organizing motor functions efficiently (Frisch & Rosenblum, 2014;Rosenberg, 2015). Around the age of eight, children have the ability to proactively govern their talents, so as to enable self-controlled conduct (Munakata et al, 2012).…”

The purpose of the present study was to provide a Turkish cultural adaptation (EFORTS-T) of the Executive Functions and Occupational Routines Scale (EFORTS) and to investigate its psychometric quality in children with dyslexia. We culturally adapted the original English version of this instrument with internationally suggested methods. Participants included the mothers of either randomly selected children with dyslexia (study group, n = 158) or age and sex-matched typically developing children (control group, n = 167). These participants completed a demographic form, the EFORTS-T, and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Parent form (BRIEF-P). For internal consistency, the alpha coefficient of the new instrument was excellent (.93), and it showed satisfactory test-retest reliability over a 14-day interval (.91). The criterion-related validity between the EFORTS-T and the BRIEF-P was moderate (.73). Fit indices of the model supported its factor structure. In conclusion, our findings support the validity and reliability of the new Turkish version of EFORTS for evaluating EF and contributing to the daily occupational routines of children with dyslexia for Turkish respondents. Further studies are needed to apply this instrument to children of different age groups and psychiatric conditions.

“…Originally developed in Hebrew, the DAY-Opp questionnaire (Fogel & Rosenblum, 2016) is used to collect information about adolescents' daily routines to improve their self-awareness toward enhanced performance. The DAY-Opp questionnaire is divided into two parts.…”

“…The DAY-Opp questionnaire was designed to help fill this clinical gap and accurately portray and document adolescents' self-perceptions about their management of the activities in their daily routines. Unlike for young children, whose parents typically report their daily functioning (Frisch & Rosenblum, 2014), adolescents must actively take part in the evaluation process and self-report their performance. This assumes the adolescents themselves, in many cases, are the best judges of their performance quality in specific activities (McCloskey et al, 2008).…”

Background: : Maintaining a balanced and diverse daily routine is one way to ease adolescents' transition to adulthood. The absence of tools that assess adolescents' daily routines led to developing the Daily Activities for Youth Opportunity (DAY-Opp) Questionnaire. This research describes the development, reliability, and validity of DAY-Opp as a clinical assessment tool of adolescents' frequency, independence, and satisfaction with daily activities. Method: : The sample of 117 typically developing adolescents (59 girls and 58 boys aged 11-19 years) divided into three age groups and completed the Hebrew version of the DAY-Opp. We statistically analyzed discriminant, concurrent, and predictive validity with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Results: : As the participants' age rose, their activity frequency decreased, independence increased, and satisfaction from daily performance remained unchanged. Sleep habits and self-efficacy predicted the frequency, independence, and satisfaction in various daily routines. Conclusions: : The DAY-Opp may enable occupational therapists to map and discuss with adolescents their strengths and challenges in daily routines and, thus, improve their occupational performance, satisfaction, and well-being. Comments The authors report no potential conflicts of interest.

“…Nevertheless, a tool that can combine all the pieces of daily functional evidence to one whole picture of functional deficits tied to invisible neurodevelopmental disabilities is lacking [17–23]. Theoretical models and research findings have previously connected these daily functional deficits with deficient executive functions (e.g., [24, 25]). The term “executive function” refers to a neuropsychological process that enables physical, cognitive, and emotional self-control [26].…”

Background Early identification of invisible comorbid neurodevelopmental disorders, such as specific learning disorders, attention deficit hyperactive disorders, and developmental coordination disorders, is crucial to improving children's daily functional deficits related to executive functions. However, a practical questionnaire to address parents' concerns is lacking. Aims To develop a reliable and valid assessment tool that can identify young children at risk for invisible underrecognized neurodevelopmental disorders. This article describes the development and standardization of the Child Evaluation Checklist (CHECK). Methods and Procedures Participants were 186 children aged 3 to 6 years: 91 with suspected invisible neurodevelopmental disorders, and 95 controls with typical development. Parents completed a demographic questionnaire, the CHECK, and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool Version (BRIEF-P). Outcomes and Results The CHECK's construct validity indicated high internal consistency for each part (Part A: α = .94; Part B: α = .90) and moderate-to-high consistency for each of Part A's four factors. Significant correlations, as well as significant group differences, were found between the CHECK factors and BRIEF-P scores. Conclusions and Implications Use of the CHECK allows for timely identification of suspicious (“red flags”) invisible neurodevelopmental disorders. It may support parents' sufficient awareness and knowledge to refer their children for comprehensive evaluation and intervention.
