Rule In or Rule Out ADHD & Help Determine Subtype

 

The goal of the BRIEF2 ADHD Form is to provide tools to support evidence-based assessment (EBA) that will help evaluators identify students who are likely to meet the criteria for a diagnosis of ADHD, and, for those who meet that criteria, further identify ADHD subtypes (ADHD-I or ADHD-C) accurately.

Features and benefits

  • Uses BRIEF2 scores and classification statistics within an evidence-based approach to predict likelihood of ADHD and determine subtype.
  • Helps evaluators "rule in" ADHD and "rule out" other explanations for observed behaviors. 
  • Uses scores from BRIEF2 Parent and/or Teacher Forms or PARiConnect reports.
  • Helps determine ADHD subtype.
  • Helps inform development of IEP goals. 
  • Q&A documents from coauthor Dr. Peter Isquith's past webinars can be viewed in the Resources area.

 

Test structure

  • Requires BRIEF2 Parent and/or Teacher Form scores. BRIEF2 Self-Report Form scores are optional and can be used on the DSM-5 Symptom Checklist. 
  • Compares profiles of parent and teacher ratings with profiles of children diagnosed with ADHD–Inattentive type and ADHD–Combined type. 
  • Examines probability of ADHD diagnosis using postive and negative predictive values. 
  • Uses a checklist of BRIEF2 items from Parent, Teacher, and/or Self-Report Forms that align with DSM-5 Inattentive and Hyperactive/Impulsive criteria.
