Background:

Executive functioning (EF) deficits are common in pediatric populations, impacting quality of life.
Assessment of EF is crucial for clinical formulations and recommendations in pediatric neuropsychology.
Questionnaire-based measures offer unique advantages, complementing traditional neuropsychological assessments.

Observation:

Two case studies involving children with spina bifida illustrate the clinical application of the LEAF scale.
The LEAF scale is designed for clinical utility, featuring brevity, comprehensive content, efficient scoring, and accessibility.
LEAF results aligned with existing checklists for working memory, planning, and organization.

Findings:

The LEAF scale demonstrated consistency with other executive functioning checklists in identifying everyday behavioral issues.
The LEAF scale provides broader assessment across domains including attention, processing speed, and novel problem-solving.
Case study results support the clinical utility of the LEAF scale in pediatric neuropsychology.

Implications:

The LEAF scale offers a valuable new tool for assessing executive and learning-related functioning in children.
This measure enhances the ability of pediatric neuropsychologists to identify and address EF challenges.
Improved assessment of EF can lead to more effective interventions and better outcomes for children.
