Behavior Assessment System for Children – Third Edition (BASC-3)

What is the Behavior Assessment System for Children – Third Edition (BASC-3)?

The Behavior Assessment System for Children – Third Edition (BASC-3) is used to understand the behaviors and emotions of children and adolescents aged 2-21. This assessment can be used to identify problem behaviors and to help develop individualized behavioral plans. The assessment has several scales to gather information including:

  • Teacher Rating Scales (TRS)
  • Parent Rating Scales (PRS)
  • Self Report of Personality (SRP)
  • Student Observation System (SOS)
  • Structured Development History (SDH)
  • Parenting Relationship Questionnaire (PRQ)

The results of the scales are integrated into the results of the BASC-3 to create an in-depth profile on the child. The profile includes developmental history, interviews, academic records, observations, and other qualitative and quantitative sources.

  • Teacher Rating Scales (TRS)

This scale is used to measure adaptive and problem behaviors in the preschool or school setting. and is completed by the child’s teacher or other professional deemed qualified to provide necessary information.

  • Parent Rating Scale (PRS) 

This scale, completed by the child’s parent or caregiver, is used to measure a child’s adaptive and problem behaviors in the community and home setting.

  • Self Report of Personality (SRP) 

This scale is used to gather insight into thoughts and feelings of the child after the age of six and is completed by the child.

  • Student Observation System (SOS) 

This scale is used by a clinician to observe a child’s behavior in the classroom and assess both adaptive and maladaptive behaviors. It is completed by the child’s teacher or other other professional deemed qualified to provide necessary information.

  • Structured Developmental History (SDH) 

This scale is used to create a comprehensive social, psychological, developmental, educational, and medical background of the child/student.

  • Parent Relationship Questionnaire (PRQ)  

This scale is used to assess the parent’s/caregiver’s perspective on the parent-child relationship. The parent provides the relationship with their child from their perspective.

"A friend recommended The Goldman Center to us, and now we recommend them to anyone who suspects their child may be neurodivergent. Getting a proper diagnosis was crucial for us, and we needed a place that was both thorough in testing and could clearly explain how our son's diagnosis specifically affected him. Goldman did exactly that, providing detailed insights and recommending resources tailored to our son's unique needs."
"Our experience with The Goldman Center was incredibly supportive. They were there for us when we felt most vulnerable, quickly setting up an evaluation for our son when other places had long wait times. The staff treated us with kindness, answered all our questions thoroughly, and made us feel comfortable throughout the diagnosis process. They provided us with excellent resources and therapy programs, leading to great success for our son. We highly recommend The Goldman Center!"
