Evaluate executive function with a valid,
reliable, and fast measure
The gold-standard rating scale
for executive function
Distracted. Forgetful. Unorganized. These
are just some of the labels that peers, family
members, and even teachers may assign
to children who have difficulty regulating
their behaviors and emotions. But executive dysfunction is a brain-based disorder,
and symptoms like impulsivity, emotional
meltdowns, and disorganization can improve
with interventions and accommodations. You
know those kids don’t deserve to be labeled.
When you need to evaluate children
with possible executive dysfunction,
you want to be sure you are using a
reliable and valid assessment tool. Your
choice will help determine that child’s
diagnosis—which will inform your
decisions and can greatly impact their
life. It’s crucial that you get it right.
The BRIEF2 is the gold-standard rating
scale for measuring executive function
ability in children and adolescents.
Its three domains evaluate cognitive,
behavior, and emotion regulation, and
its Global Executive Composite score
provides an overall snapshot of a child’s
34
Social, Emotional, and Behavioral
executive function ability to let you know
if follow-up or intervention is required.
