Gerard A. Gioia, Ph.D., Peter K. Isquith, Ph.D., Steven C. Guy Ph.D., and Lauren Kenworthy, Ph.D.

The BRIEF is designed to assess executive functioning in children and adolescents ages 5-18.  It consists of 2 rating forms - a parent questionnaire and a teacher questionnaire - which require only 10-15 minutes to administer and 15-20 minutes to score.  Suited for both home and school settings, the BRIEF is useful in evaluating children with a wide spectrum of developmental and acquired neurological conditions such as:

• Learning disabilities
• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactiviy Disorder (ADHD)
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
•  Low Birth Weight
• Tourette’s Syndrome
• Pervasive Developmental Disorders/Autism

Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function® - Self-Report Version (BRIEF-SR®)
Steven C. Guy, PhD, Peter K. Isquith, PhD, and Gerard A. Gioia, PhD

The BRIEF-SR is a standardized 80-item self-report behavior rating scale that can serve as an important tool in the clinical evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents who have problems involving the executive control functions. The BRIEF-SR was designed to complement the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function™ (BRIEF™) Parent and Teacher Forms by capturing a child or adolescent's view of his/her own purposeful, goal-directed, problem-solving behavior.
