(Available October 2015)

The BASC-3 Intervention materials contains a series of guides, materials and tip sheets to help schools, psychologists and parents effectively implement strategies to support all learners.

BASC-3 Intervention Guide

This comprehensive book for educational psychologists provides extensive information on the most common behavioural and emotional issues, covering 11 categories.

The book presents detail on 60+ interventions, including both theoretical and practical information relevant to each intervention. Each chapter includes characteristics of the condition, theoretical framework, and a list of available evidence-based, proven interventions. In addition, the guide gives an overview of each intervention, followed by clear, step-by-step implementation procedures, evidence-for-use information, citations for each intervention, and a description of factors that may enhance or detract from the chosen intervention’s effectiveness.

These resources will be available in pen and paper, and/or digital formats.

Form stronger alliances with parents/caregivers

Alongside this Guide are Parent Tip Sheets which are also available for a number of behavioural and emotional problems. These sheets enable parents to work more effectively with professionals to become an active part of their child’s success. The information provided is designed to help parents learn about the problems being experienced and offer different strategies which can be used at home to help address these problems or concerns.

Documentation Checklist

A separate Documentation Checklist for professionals to assist with reporting requirements is also available.

Behavioural and Emotional Skill Building Guide

Also available is the new Behavioural and Emotional Skill-Building Guide, an easy-to-use workbook, for use by teachers, counsellors, social workers, or other professionals who work in a school or similar setting.

The Guide provides activities, small-group or classroom-based lessons that promote and develop a number of core behavioural and emotional skills, such as communicating, problem solving, listening effectively, and relaxation strategies. When used in conjunction with the BASC-3 BESS, this Guide can be used to enhance the skills of the students and promote behaviours that will lead to school-wide success.
