Catching "red flag" behaviors early is the key to helping children and adolescents before social-emotional difficulties become major roadblocks to academic and social success. Now there are two norm-referenced, highly reliable tools that give school psychologists and other K-12 education professionals the complete picture of a child's social-emotional strengths and risk behaviors--in school (SSBS-2) and at home and in the community (HCSBS). Used in tandem, these quick and easy tools are the perfect way to - remove barriers to learning and help children reach their goals - target classroom interventions and develop IEPs - measure the effectiveness of interventions over time - bring families into the process to provide the best support for children Educators and school psychologists complete SSBS-2, a simple rating scale that looks at social competence and antisocial behavior. Specific items on both positive and negative behaviors give users accurate results and provide direction for intervention and support in school. To ensure that screening doesn't stop with the school day, follow up with HCSBS--set up like SSBS-2 and completed by a parent or other person who knows the child well--to evaluate behavior at home and in the community. Together, these easy-to-use tools provide complete information about a child's behavior, help families and professionals see where children need the most support, and improve child outcomes by extending behavior screening and intervention beyond the classroom.
