  1. Which behavioral assessment tool uses a parent-completed checklist to evaluate internalizing and externalizing problems in children aged 6-18?

    Answer: Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)

    The CBCL is a widely used parent-report instrument that assesses both internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems in children and adolescents.

  2. In CAASP-aligned behavioral assessment, a 'wraparound' approach is best characterized by:

    Answer: Family-driven, community-based individualized care planning

    Wraparound is a core CAASP philosophy emphasizing family-driven, strengths-based, individualized planning within the community.

  3. When assessing trauma in adolescents within the child-serving system, which screening tool is specifically designed to identify trauma exposure and PTSD symptoms?

    Answer: UCLA PTSD Reaction Index

    The UCLA PTSD Reaction Index is a validated instrument for screening trauma exposure and PTSD symptoms in children and adolescents.

  4. Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) primarily aims to:

    Answer: Identify the antecedents and consequences maintaining a target behavior

    FBA identifies the function of a behavior by examining antecedents, the behavior itself, and consequences (ABC model) to guide intervention planning.

  5. A CAASP-consistent behavioral assessment should include information from which combination of sources?

    Answer: Child, family, school, and community informants

    CAASP principles emphasize multi-informant, multi-system assessment spanning the child, family, school, and broader community.

  6. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) differs from deficit-focused tools because it:

    Answer: Includes a prosocial behavior subscale alongside problem scales

    The SDQ includes a prosocial subscale, making it strength-inclusive alongside its assessment of emotional, conduct, hyperactivity, and peer problems.

  7. Cultural responsiveness in behavioral assessment for children in the CAASP framework requires practitioners to:

    Answer: Consider cultural context when interpreting behavioral norms and family values

    Culturally responsive assessment involves understanding how cultural context shapes behavior, family dynamics, and the meaning of assessment findings.
