ABSTRACT
The Behavioural Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome for Children (BADS-C) was developed to address the need for a standardized ecologically valid test of executive function (EF) in the pediatric population. Our study aimed to investigate the discriminant, concurrent, and ecological validity of BADS-C in a sample with pediatric acquired brain injury (pABI). Seventy-four participants with pABI aged 10-17 years were included to a pre-registered randomized controlled trial, and baseline assessment was used for the current study. Controls consisted of 60 participants aged 10-17 years. Participants with pABI were assessed with neuropsychological tests and questionnaires of EF, and measurements of general intellectual ability (IQ). Results showed that all BADS-C subtests discriminated between participants with pABI and controls, except for the Playing Cards Test. Concurrent and ecological validity was demonstrated through associations between BADS-C total score, Key Search Test, and Zoo Map Test 1, and neuropsychological tests and teacher questionnaire ratings of EF. Key Search Test and Zoo Map Test 1 predicted teacher ratings of EF, beyond IQ and other neuropsychological test of EF. These findings provide support for BADS-C as a valid clinical assessment tool that can detect everyday executive dysfunction in the pABI population, and guide rehabilitation and treatment decisions.
