The Executive Function Wheel
Your brain isn’t broken. It just runs these twelve skills a little differently to most. Some days a few of them feel easy, some days none of them do. There’s no scoring against anyone else here, just an honest snapshot of where things stand right now. Tap a wedge and give it a score from 1 to 5. The colours will show you where you need support and where you’re doing well.

The twelve skill areas are drawn from the Executive Skills framework developed by Dr Peg Dawson and Dr Richard Guare (Dawson, P., & Guare, R. (2018). Executive Skills in Children and Adolescents: A Practical Guide to Assessment and Intervention (3rd ed.). Guilford Press). This wheel and all of its wording are an original design and are not affiliated with or endorsed by Dawson & Guare, and it is not a reproduction of their Executive Skills Questionnaire. The traffic light colour coding is inspired by Anita Patel’s Traffic Light Toolbox. This is a free tool for personal reflection, not a diagnostic instrument.
