How Is a Parent Rating Scale Used in the Diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder?

Achenbach, Thomas M.

Journal of Children in Contemporary Society, v19 n1-2 p19-31 Fall-Win 1986

Parent rating scales (e.g., Child Behavior Checklist) provide a standardized format for obtaining a differentiated picture of parents' perceptions of the child. Scales are especially useful as part of the initial intake evaluation and for reassessment to evaluate treatment effects and follow-up status of children with attention deficit disorder. (Author/DB)
