The Brown EF/A scales will include items that are more specific and ask about difficulties they might encounter in a specific context, e.g. Items are more specific and contextual: Patients with ADHD experience situational variability and have the ability to focus on certain activities which hold strong interest for them. Helps address situational variability: The clinical presentation of ADHD is generally variable, the symptoms are situational, and the degree to which a patient exhibits them may be observed and interpreted differently by various observers.1 The Brown EF/A scales will provide a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's ADHD symptoms by analyzing their behavior using multiple perspectives: the examinee's self-perspective, teacher's perspective and parents' perspective. Now known as the Brown Executive Function/Attention Scales (Brown EF/A Scales), it goes beyond other measures to screen and assess a wider range of impairments of executive function and attention. In 2018 the scales underwent another revision to better assess this complex impairment that impacts academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development for both children and adults. Both Brown Scales for Children and Adolescents and the Brown Scales for Adolescents and Adults provide age-based norms and detailed information about how to administer and interpret the Brown Scales. In 2001, it was revised to assess children.
Brown's scale was first released in 1996 and focused on adolescents and adults. For adolescents (12-18 yrs) and for adults, normed rating scales elicit self-report and collateral report on a single form.ĭr. For 8 to 12 year olds, a normed self-report version is also available. These normed rating scales are available to elicit parent report and teacher report for children ages 3 to 7 yrs and 8 to 12 yrs. The Brown Scales help to assess a wide range of symptoms of executive function impairments associated with ADHD/ADD. These scales are widely used by schools and clinicians in paper and pencil or clinical interview format they have also been utilized in research for many clinical trials of ADHD medications.Īll Patients Will Receive Their Own Copy After their Initial Evaluation
