The BIMAS-2:
We Include Training with the BIMAS-2 Assessment to Better Equip Parents, Educators, and Students

 

This screening and progress monitoring system was developed by field experts to measure the mental health of school-aged youth, as well as monitor their progress with various intervention programs. The BIMAS-2 can:

  • Identify children who are at risk with an early warning system.
  • Monitor the effectiveness of system-wide interventions like Positive Behavior Supports, (PBS), or Social Emotional Learning, (SEL).
  • Monitor small group or individual intervention plans.
  • Analyze common behavioral concerns and adaptive behaviors
  • Provide flex assessment options to tailor to individual children with a shorter assessment

This tool has helped school districts and parents across the country be more equipped to care for their children with valuable insight into their mental state. With training from MTSN included, we will support your team from start to finish.

“We chose the Bimas-2 for our district based on our own research and that it included:
  • A National sample
  • Allowed us to identify risk areas
  • Identified behavioral outcomes associated with risk levels
  • Quick and easy
  • Web based
  • Reporting functions were ideal
  • Fit within the context of MTSS framework”
