Brown EF/A Scales: Brown Executive Function/Attention Scales

Description

As an update to the widely used Brown ADD Scales, the Brown EF/A Scales goes beyond other measures to screen and assess a wider range of impairments of executive functioning and attention.

Benefits

• Addresses situational variability: scales analyse an individual’s behaviour using multiple perspectives (i.e., examinee’s self-perspective, teacher’s perspective, and parents’ perspective).
• Items are more specific and contextual: scales include items that are more specific and ask about difficulties in a specific context (e.g., difficulty remembering what has been read).
• Directly and more accurately reports symptoms: items focus on severity of specific behaviours as opposed to frequency.

Features

Brown EF/A Scales is based on Dr. Brown’s model of executive functions and includes:

• New and updated norms and test items that improve clarity and clinical relevance.
• New parent form available for adolescents.
• Both gender-specific and combined-gender norms available for all age groups.
• DSM-5 symptoms of ADHD and more.
