TVCF Examiner’s Manual

The TVCF is a nationally standardized, norm-referenced assessment instrument designed to measure multiple aspects of executive functions principally related to the integrity of the frontal lobes of the brain through the use of several verbally weighted tasks. The TVCF is useful in clinical neuropsychological examinations to detect brain injury and track rehabilitation progress, in the evaluation of language functions and verbal ability, for disability determination under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), in psychoeducational testing, and in research on brain function, as well as in other applications. The TVCH is also a time- and cost-efficient tool for assessing the executive functioning of individuals with traumatic brain injury, dementia, CNS disease, drug addiction, trauma, and speech/language impairment. The brevity of the TVCF, as well as the particular mental dimensions it assesses, also makes it useful in evaluating children suspected of having or known to have ADHD, emotional disturbances, and sensory or orthopedic impairments.
