The BRIEF2 Screening Forms are designed for use in medical and educational settings to estimate global executive function and determine whether a comprehensive assessment is appropriate. 

Features and benefits

  • Derived from the gold-standard BRIEF2, the 12-item Parent, Teacher, and Self-Report Screening forms take just 5 minutes to administer and 5 minutes to score. 
  • Useful for identifying children at risk for executive function difficulties and for clinical decision making regarding referral for additional assessment. 
  • Also useful for research and broad educational screening.

Test structure

  • Items were selected to cover the major executive function areas of behavior, emotion, and cognitive regulation.  
  • The rating form and scoring sheet are on a convenient one-page carbonless form.
