History of the BASCHistory of the BASC► Published in 1992 as a multi-method,
multidimensional tool, and includes:● Teacher Rating Scales (TRS)● Parent Rating Scales (PRS)● Self-Report of Personality (SRP)● Student Observation System (SOS)● Structured Developmental History (SDH)● BASC Monitor for ADHD
► Backed by an extensive research base● Over 150 dissertations, presentations,
articles, or providing quality information to clinicians

BASC-2BASC-2 What: Multi-method, multi-dimensional, evaluation of
behavior and self-perceptions of children Why:► To facilitate differential diagnosis an
educational classification of emotional and behavior disorders of children
► To aid in the design of a treatment plan► Provide a triangulated view of problems► Tied to DSM IV and IDEA

Universal Behavior Screening: Universal Behavior Screening: RationaleRationale
► Identifying problems early allows for prevention & intervention
► Negative impact of problems can be minimized
► In the U.S., only 15-20% of children with emotional/behavioral problems receive mental health services (Ringel & Sturm, 2001)
![Page 11: Cheryl Neithercott Assessmenty Representative Larry Hanken, Ph.D. National Consultant Director, University Alliance Program Behavioral and Emotional Screening](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649dd35503460f94acab80/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Universal Behavior Screening: Universal Behavior Screening: RationaleRationale
► Screeners typically administered through primary care settings
► Many children, miss the opportunity for early identification and intervention (Pagano et al., 2000).
► Screening is frequently focused on one disorder to the exclusion of others This approach that neglects large numbers of children who have problems other than the target condition
(August et al., 1992; Taylor et al., 2000; Matthey & Petrovski, 2002).

Universal Behavior Screening: Universal Behavior Screening: RationaleRationale
► Research supports strong link between behavior/emotions and academic performance
► Schools screen for vision, hearing, and academic achievement
► However, Behavior/Emotional screening occurs in less than 2% of districts across the U.S.

Using the BASC-2 BESSUsing the BASC-2 BESS► BASC-2 BESS may help to reduce the problem of
over-referral of boys for SPED placement► When using the Combined norms:
● Teacher Form: about 10% of girls vs. about 20% of boys elevated
● Parent Form: about 10% of girls vs. about 15% of boys elevated
● Student Form: about 14% of both girls and boys elevated
► How does this help the problem?● Current SPED placement rate estimates of 2:1 to
3:1 (boys to girls); thus, BESS scores may reduce this discrepancy

Common Questions and Common Questions and AnswersAnswers
Can I use the BESS to replace the TRS, PRS, and SRP?
► NO: The BASC-2 BESS offers a single, Total Score that, while having strong statistical properties, does not offer the breadth of information that is needed for making a differential diagnosis
![Page 44: Cheryl Neithercott Assessmenty Representative Larry Hanken, Ph.D. National Consultant Director, University Alliance Program Behavioral and Emotional Screening](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649dd35503460f94acab80/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Common Questions and Common Questions and AnswersAnswers
Can I use the BESS to monitor progress?► Perhaps, but in limited situations
● The BESS may be helpful in tracking overall behavioral and emotional trends within a school or other large population
● The BESS is not as useful for measuring the effects of specific interventions that a child may have gone through,
● Ideal for a screener rather than many items measuring a specific type of behavioral/ emotional problem
