Brown ADD Adolescent Adult Kit

The Brown ADD Adolescent/Adult Kit (also known as the Brown Executive Function/Attention Scales for Adolescents & Adults) is a standardized rating scale assessment designed to measure a broad range of executive function and attention impairments in teens and adults. Developed by Dr. Thomas E. Brown, it addresses not only ADHD symptoms but also underlying brain-based difficulties in activation, focus, effort regulation, emotion control, working memory, and self-regulation.
