BASC-3 Structured Development History Record Form

The BASC-3 is an instrument designed for the assessment of behaviour and emotional functioning in children and adolescents. It helps differentiate between hyperactivity and attention problems and identify behaviour challenges required for IDEA compliance, functional behaviour assessments (FBAs), behaviour intervention plans (BIPs), and individualized education programs (IEPs). This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates comprehensive behavioural and emotional evaluation and allows them to tailor interventions based on insights gathered from multiple informants, including teachers, parents, and the child.

Benefits:

• Multi-Informant Data: Collects behaviour information from self, teacher, and parent perspectives for a holistic understanding.

• Accurate Differentiation: Differentiates hyperactivity from attention issues for precise diagnosis.

• Research-Backed Scales: Built on a strong theoretical and research foundation with interpretable scales.

• Efficient Reporting: Provides extensive computer scoring and interpretive reports for quick and thorough analysis.

Key Features:

• Teacher Rating Scales (TRS): Measures adaptive and problem behaviours in educational settings.

• Parent Rating Scales (PRS): Assesses behaviours in home and community environments.

• Parenting Relationship Questionnaire (PRQ): Evaluates the parent-child relationship dynamics.

• Self-Report of Personality (SRP): Offers insights into the child or adolescent’s own thoughts and feelings.

• Student Observation System (SOS): Enables direct behavioural observations in classroom settings.

• Structured Developmental History (SDH): Provides a comprehensive review of social, psychological, developmental, educational, and medical background information.
