FPA™ Focused Performance Assessment

Criterion-referenced observation of attention and executive performance during school tasks, comparing listening with visual tasks. It does not diagnose or rule out ADHD. Not normed and not diagnostic; scores describe impact on participation and guide supports. Records stay on this device only — use initials, not names.
