Product Details

BASC-3 uses a comprehensive set of rating scales and forms to provide a complete picture of a child's or adolescent’s behaviour and emotions. 

Benefits

  • Differentiate between hyperactivity and attention problems 
  • Identify behaviour problems as required by IDEA, and for developing FBAs, BIPs, and IEPs.
  • Strong base of theory and research gives a thorough set of highly interpretable scales.
  • Access to efficient and extensive reports using computer scoring and interpretation.

Features

BASC-3 applies a triangulation method for gathering information. It analyzes a child’s behaviour from three perspectives: self, teacher, and parent.

  • Teacher Rating Scales (TRS) measure adaptive and problem behaviours in the preschool or school setting.
  • Parent Rating Scales (PRS) measure both adaptive and problem behaviours in the community and home setting.
  • Parenting Relationship Questionnaire (PRQ).
  • Self-Report of Personality (SRP) provides insight into a child’s or adult’s thoughts and feelings.
  • Student Observation System (SOS) enables clinicians and other qualified observers to code and record direct observations of a child’ behaviour in a classroom setting.
  • Structured Developmental History (SDH) offers a comprehensive history and background survey that supplies a thorough review of social, psychological, developmental, educational, and medical information on the child.
