BRIEF2 BY GERARD A. GIOIA, PHD, PETER K. ISQUITH, PHD, STEVEN C. GUY, PHD, AND LAUREN KENWORTHY, PHD.
The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, Second Edition measures executive function in home and school environments. This new edition maintains the original’s intrinsic qualities that made it so popular. It is efficient, comprehensive, and useful for evaluating children and adolescents with developmental and acquired neurological conditions such as learning disabilities, ADHD, traumatic brain injury, low birth weight, Tourette’s Disorder, and autism.
Requiring just 10 minutes to administer, the BRIEF2 is an efficient way to evaluate impairment of executive function in children and adolescents with neurological conditions.
What's new in the second edition
Parent, Teacher, and Self-Report Forms are covered in the same manual
Item content is more consistent across the three forms
Rater discrepancy base rates allow you to easily examine different perspectives from multiple raters
Scales are more concise, making administration easier for the respondent
