Resource summary
Types of Assessment
Clinical Interview
Obtaining information by asking questions
Describing the problem
Developmental and family history
Information obtained from parents
Potentially significant historical milestones and events that might have a bearing on the child's current difficulties
Birth and related events
pregnanacy and birth complications
mother's use of drugs, alcohol or cigarettes
Developmental milestones
Age of walking
Use of language
Medical history
Injuries
Accidents
Operations
Illnesses
Prescribed medication
Interpersonal skills
Relations with adults and peers
Social activities
Educational history
Schools attended
Academic performance
Attitude towards school
Relations with teachers and peers
Parent's expectations about the assessment and treatment for their child and themselves
Unstructured
Low reliability
Because not standardised
Selective or biased information gathered
Semi-structured
Can be administered by a computer
Appealing for older children and youngsters
Less threatening than one-on-one interview
Interivews that include specific questions designed to elicit information in a relatively consistent manner regardless of who is doing the interview
More reliable
Ensures the most important aspects of a particular disorder are covered
Loss of spontaneity between the child and the clinican
Youngster may be relunctant to share additional information because it's not directly relevant to the interviewer's questions
Behavioural Assessment
ABCs of assessment
Simple framework for organising the findings in behavioural assessment
Helps break down behaviours
Define
Evaluate the child's thoughts, feelings and behaviours
Observe the child's behaviour
Identify the target behaviours
Determine the factors that control or influence these target behaviours
This is the goal of behavioural analysis/functional anaylsis of behaviour
Formulate hypotheses about the problem and what can be done to fix it (treatment)
Ways to get information about a child's behaviour
Clinical Interview
Checklists and Rating Scales
Standardised reports about a child's behaviour and adjustment
Economical to administer and score
Can compare a child's behaviour to the norm
Lack of agreement between informants
Common occurence
Highly informative
Annotations:
Perhaps a child is acting differently in two environments (school and home)
Examples
Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL)
Global behaviour checklist - assesses a variety of behaviours
Profile about behavioural problems
presence or absence
frequency and intensity
Rating scales for specific disorders
Depression
Anxiety
Conduct
Rating scales that assess particular areas of functioning
Social competence
Adaptive behaviour
Annotations:
The Vineland!
School Performance
Behavioural Observation and Recording
Parents or other observers record baseline data and continually record behave after interview
May also teach parents better observation skills
Children often know when they are being watched and may behave differently as a result
This provides ongoing information in real-;life settings
Suitable for children who are not old enough or skilled enough to report their own behaviour
May involve role-play simulation to observe behaviours behind the child and the family
Well-defined sets of activities can be used for observation
E.g., the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule
Annotations:
Has activities that can assess communication and social skills
Psychological Testing
Developmental Tests
Screen, diagnose and evaluate infants and young children to IDENTIFY those at risk
Intelligence Tests
Evaluates child's intellectual functioning
.WISC-IV
Educational Tests
Projective Tests
Present children with ambiguous stimuli
Assesses inner thoughts and feelings
A reflection of a child's personality
The unconscious....
Fears
Needs
Inner conflicts
Asking them to tell a story using the pictures provided
Personality Tests
MMPI-A
PIC-2
Neuropsychological Tests
Link brain functioning with objective measures of behaviour
Assessing
Psychological processes
Whether you have an intact CNS
Involves the use of comprehensive batteries that assess specific domains
Verbal and nonverbal cognitive functions
Language
Abstract reasoning
Problem-Solving
Perceptual functions
Visual
Auditory
Tactile-kinesthetic
Motor functions
Strength
Speed of performance
Dexterity
Co-ordination
Emotional/executive control functions
Attention
Frustration tolerance
Emotional functioning
Tests
Given under standard conditions
Purpose: assessing a particular aspect
A child's score is compared with a normative group
Purpose: to determine the extent to which the child's score deviates from the norm
