Reports
Assessment Reports
Assessment Reports are comprehensive and present scores for each scale numerically and graphically. Scores are also reported in relation to the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria and to special education eligibility categories as outlined in the IDEA 2004. In addition, the report includes a detailed description of each scale. Feedback Handouts are included in Assessment Reports, and these present results from the Conners CBRS parent, teacher and self-report forms. These handouts help the practitioner to summarize and describe the scores to parent, teachers and other relevant third parties in broad, non-threatening, and easy-to-understand terms. Feedback Handouts are ideal for parents and teachers as well as other relevant third parties.
Progress Reports
Progress Reports compare the results of two to four administrations for the same individual to measure changes over time. These reports are ideal for monitoring treatment and intervention.
Comparative Reports
Comparative Reports compare the results of two to five administrations from different raters (e.g., mother, father, and a teacher) to establish the similarities and difference in reports of the youth’s functioning in different contexts.
Conners CBRS is available online only. Contact NZCER for further information.
