The BASC 3 system includes the following components: Behavioral and Emotional Screening System (BESS) Teacher Rating Scales (TRS) Parent Rating Scales (PRS) Self-Report of Personality (SRP) Structured Developmental History (SDH) Student Observation System (SOS) behavior Intervention Guide Behavioral and Emotional Skill Building Guide - part of the BASC 3 family of products Flex Monitor Parenting Relationship Questionnaire (PRQ )Typically, emotional and behavioral difficulties have various facets.

2 Consequently, these difficulties need to be assessed from a number of different viewpoints. Clinicians tend to obtain such views in a fairly ad hoc manner, using a variety of measures, observations, or other data that may prove difficult to integrate into a total picture. This is why the integrated assessment approach of the BASC 3 components is so desirable. Together, the BASC 3 components offer a comprehensive system for identifying, evaluating, monitoring, and remediating behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents. Each component can be used individually or in whatever combination is best suited to the situation at document focuses on the TRS, PRS, SRP, SOS, and SDH components.

5 OSA may be administered with or without Test Session Lock . Select with Test Session Lock if you want to administer an assessment on a web-enabled computer AND lock the testing session preventing the examinee from exiting the assessment. Test Session Lock is recommended for examiners who want to restrict an examinee from accessing an internet browser, programs or files stored on the computer. Note: Test Session Lock is not available for mobile devices, including tablets, and is not intended to replace a proctor for those assessments requiring supervision during an administration. We strongly recommend using Chrome, Firefox or Remote on screen administration (ROSA): The examinee or rater is sent an email invitation with a link to launch and administer the test at a remote location.
