DAP (Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System)

The DAP (Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System) is a specialized assessment tool used by psychologists to measure a person's executive functions—skills that help with planning, problem-solving, organization, and controlling impulses. It involves tasks that evaluate how well someone can think flexibly, follow complex instructions, and regulate their behavior. The results help identify strengths and challenges in these cognitive areas, which can inform tailored interventions or support strategies for individuals with difficulties in executive functioning, such as those with brain injuries, developmental disorders, or learning challenges.
