[BREV: a new clinical scale for the evaluation of cognitive function in school-age and preschool-age children]. / La BREV: une batterie clinique d'évaluation des fonctions cognitives chez les enfants d'âges scolaire et préscolaire.

BREV (Batterie Rapide d'Evaluation des fonctions cognitives) is a new evaluation test for the screening of cognitive disorders in 4-9-year-old children, based on a neuropsychological process. It is made up of 17 subtests which have been carefully standardized. It is not an intelligence test but a tool for children' health professionals to use as a rapid neuropsychological screening test. It is particularly recommended for any child with a school learning disorder or neurological history with a high risk of cognitive disturbances such as epilepsy. It may also be used as a systematic screening test.
