Several methods are employed in behavioral assessment, including:
- Observations: Directly observing the child in different settings such as home, school, and clinical environments. - Interviews: Conducting structured or semi-structured interviews with the child, parents, and teachers. - Standardized Tests: Using tools like the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the Vanderbilt Assessment Scale to assess specific behavioral and emotional issues. - Questionnaires: Administering questionnaires to parents and teachers to gather their insights on the child's behavior.
