The BASC™-2 is a multimethod, multidimensional system used to evaluate the behavior and self-perceptions of children and young adults aged 2 through 25 years. The BASC-2 is multi-method in that it has the following five components, which may be used individually or in any combination:
two rating scales, one for teachers (Teacher Rating Scales, or TRS) and one for parents (Parent Rating Scales, or PRS), which gather descriptions of the child’s observable behavior, each divided into age-appropriate forms
a self-report scale (Self-Report of Personality, or SRP), on which the child or young adult can describe his or her emotions and self-perceptions
a Structured Developmental History (SDH) form
a form for recording and classifying directly observed classroom behavior (Student Observation System, or SOS)
The BASC-2 is multidimensional in that it measures numerous aspects of behavior and personality, including positive (adaptive) as well as negative (clinical) dimensions.
The BASC-2 was designed to facilitate the differential diagnosis and educational classification of a variety of emotional and behavioral disorders of children and to aid in the design of treatment plans. When used individually, the BASC-2 components are reliable and psychometrically sophisticated instruments that provide an array of beneficial data. When used as a total system, the BASC-2 provides information about a child from a variety of sources, providing the clinician with a coordinated set of tools for evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
The BASC-2 on Q-global has manual entry and On-Screen Administration (OSA). There is a Demographics tab and an Item Entry tab.
The Demographics tab includes an Administrator section and a Client section for the following forms: Self Rating Form (Child, Adolescent and College Form), Self Rating Interviewer Form, Parent Rating Form and Teacher Rating Form.
