The Behavior Assessment System for Children, Third Edition (BASC-3) was completed by STUDENT’s
mother and classroom teacher. The BASC-3 is a behavior rating scale that assesses emotional,
behavioral, academic, and adaptive behaviors. Scores in the Clinically Significant range (**) suggest a
high level of maladjustment compared to same-age peers. Scores in the At-Risk range (*) identify a
problem that may not be severe enough to require formal treatment or requires careful monitoring.
Scales contain safeguards, such as the Consistency Index and the F Index, to ensure that raters answer in
a valid and reliable manner, and unless noted, all scales are in the Acceptable range. The F Index is a
classically derived infrequency scale, designed to assess the possibility that a rater has depicted a child’s
behavior in an inordinately negative fashion. The F Index consists of items that represent maladaptive
behaviors to which the rater answered “almost always” and adaptive behaviors to which the rater
responded “never.” The Consistency Index identifies situations when the rater has given inconsistent
responses to items that are typically answered in a similar way, based on comparisons made to raters
from the general population. The Consistency Index was designed to identify ratings that might not be
easily interpretable due to these response discrepancies. All teacher validity indices fell in the
Acceptable range.

Based on parent ratings, STUDENT demonstrates more difficulty with CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT SCALES
when compared to other boys his age. Additional areas of concern were AT RISK SCALES.

At home, STUDENT’s mother reported that STUDENT had a tendency to become irritable quickly and has
difficulty maintaining self-control when faced with adversity. He has some problems concerning social
skills and communication. STUDENT can become easily upset, frustrated, and/or angered in response to
environmental changes. STUDENT mother reported that he has difficulty controlling and maintaining his

activities or routines. STUDENT mother reported that STUDENT does not tend to act in a threatening or
intrusive manner, and seems to be able to overcome stress and adversity about as well as others his
age.
Behavioral observations support these rating scale results, and results are believed to be valid and
reliable indicators of STUDENT’s current behaviors at home and school
