Learn more about the development of the BRIEF 2
The BRIEF 2 is an enhanced rating scale of executive function that continues to be as efficient, comprehensive and consistent with current models of executive function as its predecessor but now includes a quick screener and enhanced features.
The BRIEF 2 includes a 12-item screening version and updated norms for the Parent, Teach and Self-Report forms based on a large, diverse sample.
Features and Benefits
- Provides an overview of the BRIEF 2 model of executive function that leads to assessment and intervention
- Reviews the development, reliability and validity of the BRIEF 2
- Follows two case examples of students with executive function difficulties and describes screen, basic and advanced interpretation
- Increased parallelism in item content, with most items shared between the Parent Form and Teacher Form and approximately half of the items also shared with the Self-Report Form.
- Illustrates the fundamental steps to interpreting scores and introduces optional interpretive steps
- Provides a step-by-step guide to interpret scores and a parallel sentence-by-sentence guide to help practitioners write findings in reports using language that is concise, accurate and clear to parents and teachers
- Contains more concise scales, which reduce the burden on the parent, teacher and adolescent respondent.
- Describes effective executive function intervention models and programs
- Parent, Teacher and Self-Report forms are now discussed in one Manual and have increased parallel structure. This content overlap, combined with the presentation of rater discrepancy base rates, makes examining multiple rater perspectives easy.
