ABOUT THE BIMAS-2


The Behavior Intervention Monitoring Assessment System (BIMAS-2 is a measure of social, emotional and behavioral
functioning in children and adolescents ages 5 to 18 years. The BIMAS Standard Form includes 34 change-sensitive items that
are used for universal screening and for assessing response to intervention. The BIMAS is the only commercially available
measure developed based on years of research using a scientific model called Intervention Item Selection Rules (IISRs; Meier,
1997, 1998, 2004), a process that identifies items with demonstrated change sensitivity to therapeutic interventions. The
BIMAS Flex is an additional pool of items that provide information on specific intervention targets or goals within the five areas
assessed by the Standard Form. The BIMAS offers an online web-based data management system with dynamic analysis,
graphing and reporting options. This allows its users to dynamically manipulate data in real time to assist in evidence-based
decision-making within a comprehensive behavior health care model of service delivery.

THE PURPOSE OF THE BIMAS
The BIMAS is a brief, repeatable multi-informant measure that can be used to:
1. Universal Screening (UA) – identify students who might be at risk or in need of further assessment.
2. Progress Monitoring (PM) – monitor the effectiveness of system wide interventions such as Positive Behavior Supports (PBS)
or Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curricula; monitor small group or individual interventions [Behavior Support Plans, Individual
Education Program (IEP) plans]. PM is easily accomplished with the Standard Form and the flexibility of creating unique PM
plans. The data generated by this process, increases accountability across all parties involved, promotes implementation fidelity
and facilitates the collaboration of school personnel and parents.
