Attention & Organisation

One of the eight Assembly Dimensions. It covers how your child focuses, remembers things, plans ahead and finishes what they start.

Applies across the UK

This dimension asks about noticing details, holding attention, remembering instructions, getting started on a task, keeping track of belongings and following a job through to the end. It is split into two groups of questions: "Attention, Concentration & Memory" and "Planning/ Organisation/ Execution".

For a child under 8 the bar for the top label is set higher here than it is for older children, because getting started, remembering and finishing are still developing at that age.

The result you see is a summary of your own answers about everyday life. It is not a measure of how clever your child is, and it is not a diagnosis.
