The tool includes forms that cover the following behaviors: Externalizing and ADHD Problems, School and ADHD Problems, Internalizing Problems, Social Withdrawal, and Adaptive Skills.

BASC-2 Progress Monitor is intended for use for students in kindergarten through twelfth grade and intended for use with students in general education and students with disabilities.

Teachers, parents, and students are raters on corresponding forms. Forms are scored by school psychologists or pediatricians.

The recommended administration setting is a general education classroom, special education classroom, school office, clinician setting, or home.

BASC-2 is designed for use with individual students. It uses a rating scale for the assessment format.

Administration time per student is 5 minutes with 5 minutes of additional scoring time.

There is no limit to how many administrators can rate a student concurrently.

Alternate forms are not available.

Less than 30 minutes of training are required for the rater.

To give valid ratings, a respondent should have a considerable amount of contact with the child. For the teacher form, a week of daily contact or 2-3 weeks of several days-a-week observations should be sufficient.

Training manuals and materials are field-tested and included in the cost of the intervention.

Pearson provides both product content support and tech support 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. CST Monday through Friday at 800-627-7271.

 

Sensitive to Student Change: Data Unavailable

Levels of Performance Specified: Convincing Evidence

Are levels of performance specified in your manual or published materials?

Yes

Specify the levels of performance:

 Total Score T Score Range      
    Average or below average   At-Risk Clinically Significant
Externalizing and ADHD Problems  59 and below   60-69 70 and above
Social Withdrawal     59 and below 60-69 70 and above
Adaptive Skills 41 and above 31-40 30 and below

Describe how the levels of performance are used for progress monitoring:

When using the forms in conjunction with an intervention or treatment program, these classification criteria can be helpful for determining the relative severity of a child or adolescent’s behavioral or emotional problems as compared to the general population.

What is the basis for specifying levels of performance?

Norm-referenced. Scores from a nationally representative population.

If norm-referenced, describe the normative profile:
