Abstract
Behavior rating scales provide objective information about the observable behavior problems of preschool children, school-aged children, and teenagers. Typically completed by a child’s parent and/or teacher, these rating scales can be used for a number of purposes including clarifying whether or not a particular child has a significant behavior problem, targeting specific behaviors that require direct intervention, and assessing the impact of an intervention strategy.
