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

- 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 positive 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.
