The NEPSY-II is a battery of subtests that assess executive functioning and attention, memory and learning, language, social perception, sensory motor functioning, and visual spatial processing. An introduction to the NEPSY-II and its role in the current education environment in California will be provided. Brief clinical and school based applications of the NEPSY-II will also be reviewed.
