Child Assessment
Behavior Assessment System for Children
Why did you select the assessment tool?
The Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC) facilitates a full analysis of a child's behavior from three distinct perspectives: the child's self-perception, the parent's observation, and the teacher's evaluation. In addition, the assessment encompasses the utilization of observation techniques and a comprehensive structured developmental history, thereby
facilitating the acquisition of additional insights about the child (Swart, 2005).
Why might it be especially helpful for use with children?
This instrument is employed to evaluate children over a broad range of age groups and diverse behavioral patterns. This tool enables ongoing monitoring and evaluation of a child's conduct and emotional state to identify any potential alterations (BASC, 2018). Moreover, the validity and reliability of this technique has been established, leading to its widespread use in several studies (Swart, 2005).
What challenges or limitations might there be for this assessment tool?
The BASC presents certain challenges, namely financial costs and the need for dependence on external parties (such as parents or teachers) to accurately fulfill their respective roles in the assessment process. Additionally, the practitioner administering the BASC is required to possess a higher level of understanding of measurement and scaling concepts to make
accurate interpretations of the gathered data (Flanagan, 2000). 3
Adolescent Assessment
Severity Measure for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Child Age 11 to 17
Why did you select the assessment tool?
Anxiety frequently prevents people from engaging with others and participating in
events, which can lead to depression. Perhaps an earlier diagnosis of anxiety will help lower the
likelihood of a depression diagnosis. Furthermore, reducing the potential for depression could
potentially lower the risk of suicide.
Why might it be especially helpful for use with adolescents?
An adolescent may be more comfortable "checking boxes" than talking at first.
Additionally, it can open the door for the therapist to ask targeted questions, which can make the adolescent feel less questioned.
What challenges or limitations might there be for this assessment tool?
One of the main challenges is the subjective nature of self-report measures. Due to poor
self-awareness or a tendency to underreport or overreport anxiety symptoms, adolescents may
have trouble appropriately assessing and reporting their symptoms (Beesdo et al., 2009;
Brandell, 2020; Glassofer, 2020). Adolescence is a time of significant physical, emotional, and
cognitive changes, which might affect how anxiety manifests itself (Brandell, 2020). The scale
may not capture these nuances properly, resulting in insufficient knowledge of the severity of
GAD in this population.
