BRIEF2 ADHD Form Professional Manual Supplement

The new Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function®, Second Edition ADHD Form (BRIEF 2 ADHD Form) uses scores from completed BREIF2 Parent, Teacher and Self-Report protocols (including PARiConnect reports) to identify children who are likely to have ADHD. It also determines which ADHD subtype (inattentive or combined) is most likely, so you can recommend effective interventions.

Using scores from the BRIEF2 Working Memory and Inhibit scales, the BRIEF 2 ADHD Form takes a three-step approach to help you determine the likelihood of ADHD:

1. Compare plotted profiles to known ADHD profiles
2. Use evidence-based statistics to eliminate likelihood of ADHD diagnosis and subtype
3. Use a checklist to see how closely ratings align with DSM-5™ inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive criteria.

The BRIEF 2 ADHD Form helps evaluators "rule in" ADHD and "rule out" other explanations for observed behaviors, and helps inform development of IEP goals.
