Purpose: Assess impairment of executive function in children and adolescents

Age: 5 to 18 years

Administration: Individual (Informant or Self-Report)

Time: 10 minutes

The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function - Second Edition (BRIEF2) assesses impairment of executive function in children and adolescents ages 5 - 18 years, in both home and school environments.

The BRIEF2 gives you the information you need to help children and adolescents with executive dysfunction. It digs deeper than similar measures and pinpoints exactly where and why children struggle, so therapists and schools can make informed and impactful intervention and accommodation recommendations.

It is designed for a broad range of children for whom there may be concerns about self-regulation, such as those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); learning disabilities (LD); attention disorders; traumatic brain injuries (TBI); depression; and other developmental, neurological, psychiatric, and medical conditions.

New features of the BRIEF2

  • Includes a new 12-item screening version and updated norms for the Parent, Teacher, and Self-Report forms
  • Includes three indexes (behavioral, emotional, and cognitive)
  • No new items were added to the clinical scales, allowing for a smooth, consistent transition from the BRIEF to the BRIEF2
  • New infrequency scale helps identify unusual responding
  • New reliable change statistics make it easy to measure the significance of change in scores over time
  • Increased sensitivity to executive function impairment: Items that distracted from sensitivity in key clinical groups (such as ADHD and ASD) have been eliminated
  • Parent, Teacher, and Self-Report forms have an increased parallel structure
  • The BRIEF2 may be administered and scored online via PARiConnect
  • The Online Score Report's overview section provides important information at a glance, including validity results, index T scores and percentiles, and explanatory text about the child's or adolescent's overall profile. The report includes a score summary table, score profile, and item response table.
  • The Online Interpretive Report includes all information on the score report PLUS interpretive text for BRIEF2 clinical scale, index, and composite scores and validity indicators.
  • The Parent/Teacher form includes an optional ADHD score profile, interpretive text, and DSM-5 ADHD Symptom Checklist.  It contains 63 items within nine theoretically and empirically derived and well-validated clinical scales that measure commonly agreed upon domains of executive functioning: Inhibit, Self-Monitor, Shift, Emotional Control, Initiate, Working Memory, Plan/ Organize, Task-Monitor, and Organization of Materials.
  • The 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.

New! BRIEF2 Interventions Handouts

Developed by the BRIEF2 authors and available only online via PARiConnect, the new BRIEF2 Interventions Handouts are graphic PDF files designed to be shared with parents, teachers, and students. Written in easy-to-understand language, they explain what the executive functions are and include detailed strategies to support and improve behaviours at home and in school.

Handouts are specific to BRIEF2 scales and are generated based on elevated (T ≥ 60) scores. Although several handouts may be available per report, only one use is deducted. 

Handouts are only available after a BRIEF2 Score or Interpretive Report is completed/generated.
