Abstract
The Rating Scale of Impairment (RSI) (Goldstein & Naglieri, 2016) was developed to measure functional limitations across a range of life areas for youth ages 5 through 18 years. The RSI meets the need for a measure of impairment that can be used with symptom-based diagnostic tools as part of a comprehensive assessment. The RSI can be completed by a parent or a teacher. It yields scales measuring functioning in the following areas: school or work, social, mobility, domestic, family, and self-care. The RSI was developed to the highest psychometric qualities to provide clinically meaningful information that aids in treatment planning.
