An effective way to measure behaviour
BASC-2 provides the most comprehensive set of rating scales. These scales measure areas important for both IDEA and DSM-IV classifications. In addition, BASC-2 is respected for its developmental sensitivity. Best of all, you receive the most extensive view of adaptive and maladaptive behaviour.
Multiple perspectives is the key to measuring behaviour
BASC-2 applies a triangulation method for gathering information. By analysing the child’s behaviour from three perspectives—Self, Teacher, and Parent—you get a more complete and balanced picture. Combined, these BASC-2 tools provide one of the most comprehensive systems currently available!

Teacher Rating Scales
Use the Teacher Rating Scales (TRS) to measure adaptive and problem behaviours in the preschool or school setting. Teachers or other qualified observers can complete forms at three age levels—preschool (ages 2 years to 5 years), child (ages 6 years to 11 years), and adolescent (ages 12 years to 21 years)—in about 10 to 20 minutes.
The forms describe specific behaviors that are rated on a four-point scale of frequency, ranging from “Never” to “Almost Always.” The TRS contains 100-139 items. Validity and response set indices used to help judge the quality of completed forms are also available.
Parent Rating Scales
Use the Parent Rating Scales (PRS) to measure both adaptive and problem behaviours in the community and home setting. Parents or caregivers can complete forms at three age levels—preschool (ages 2 years to 5 years), child (ages 6 years to 11 years), and adolescent (ages 12 years to 21 years)—in about 10–20 minutes.
The PRS contains 134-160 items and uses a four-choice response format. All clinical and adaptive scales are listed in the chart below. Validity and response set indexes used to help judge the quality of completed forms are also available. This form requires approximately a fourth-grade reading level for completion.
