Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function: BRIEF-2 Self-Report Forms (pkg/25)

The BRIEF2 is an instrument designed for the assessment of executive functioning in children and adolescents ages 5–18. It helps identify and understand executive dysfunction, enabling therapists, teachers, and parents to pinpoint where and why children struggle and develop informed and impactful intervention and accommodation recommendations.

This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates diagnostic evaluation and allows them to tailor support strategies to the unique needs of each child or adolescent.

Benefits:

• Saves time: Administer in just 10 minutes using pen-and-paper forms.
• Comprehensive: Includes information about executive functioning and ADHD in one test, with increased sensitivity to executive function problems in key clinical groups such as ADHD and ASD.
• Cohesive: Parallel structure across forms (Parent, Teacher, and Self-Report) allows for more informed and effective interventions.
• Trusted: The BRIEF®2 is the center of more than 1,000 peer-reviewed studies in 60 languages across six continents.

Key Features:

• Three indexes (behavioral, emotional, and cognitive): These provide a broad view of the child’s executive functioning profile.
• Infrequency scale: Helps identify unusual or inconsistent responses to ensure validity.
• Score Report overview section: Provides important information at a glance, including index T scores, percentiles, and explanatory text about the child’s overall profile. Includes a score summary table, score profile, and item response table.
• Interpretive Report: Includes all information on the Score Report PLUS interpretive text for BRIEF®2 clinical scale, index, and composite scores, along with validity indicators.
• Parent/Teacher form: Contains 63 items within nine theoretically and empirically derived and well-validated clinical scales measuring commonly agreed-upon domains of executive functioning: Inhibit, Self-Monitor, Shift, Emotional Control, Initiate, Working Memory, Plan/Organize, Task-Monitor, and Organization of Materials. Includes an optional ADHD score profile, interpretive text, and DSM-5 ADHD Symptom Checklist.
• Self-Report: Provides additional details about the level of awareness and perceptions of the examinee’s own executive functioning. It contains 55 items within seven theoretically and empirically derived and well-validated clinical scales that parallel the Parent and Teacher forms: Inhibit, Self-Monitor, Shift, Emotional Control, Task Completion, Working Memory, and Plan/Organize.
