Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS for Adults), (Wire-Bound Paperback)

The Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS for Adults) is an empirically based tool for evaluating dimensions of adult executive functioning in daily life. Evidence indicates that the BDEFS is far more predictive of impairments in major life activities than more time-consuming and costly traditional EF tests. The BDEFS offers an ecologically valid snapshot of the capacities involved in time management, organization and problem solving, self-restraint, self-motivation, and self-regulation of emotions. It comprises both self- and other-reports in a long form (15-20 minutes) and a short form (4-5 minutes). Special features include an adult ADHD risk index in the long form. Complete instructions for scoring and interpreting the scale are provided.QUICK VIEWWhat does it do?: Provides an ecologically valid assessment of executive functioning deficits in daily life activities.Age Range: 18-81Administration Time: Long Form: 15-20 minutes.
