The Gold-Standard Rating Form for Executive Function Testing

 

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.
