CAB Parent Extended Rating Forms

The CAB (Child and Adolescent Behavior Inventory) is an instrument designed for the assessment of adjustment, psychosocial attributes, and behavioral problems in children and adolescents aged 2–18 (parent form) and 5–18 (teacher form). It helps professionals differentiate between Emotional Disturbance (ED) and Social Maladjustment (SM), meeting the diagnostic and eligibility requirements of IDEA.

This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates comprehensive behavioral evaluation and allows them to tailor educational and clinical support by aligning findings with DSM-IV-TR™ criteria and IDEA guidelines.

The accompanying book, CAB Professional Manual, offers case examples, interpretive guidance, and discrepancy score tables to support the differentiation of ED and SM.

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive Behavioral Insight: Assists in identifying children and adolescents across a wide age range who may require behavioral, educational, or psychiatric interventions.

  • Alignment with Societal Concerns: Evaluates behaviors reflecting current youth-related concerns (e.g., bullying, aggression, executive function, giftedness).

  • Differentiation Support: Includes two dedicated scales—Emotional Disturbance and Social Maladjustment—to help distinguish between these classifications, as required by IDEA.

  • Versatile Use: Applicable for evaluating behavioral patterns in both clinical and educational contexts, including medical and neuropsychological conditions such as ADHD, LD, and ASD.

Key Features:

  • Multiple Rating Forms: Includes Teacher (CAB-T), Parent (CAB-P), and Parent Extended (CAB-PX) forms, tailored for different observation contexts.

  • Adaptive and Clinical Focus: Uses a balanced framework to evaluate both competence-based strengths and problem-based concerns.

  • Critical Behavior Assessment: The CAB-PX form includes additional scales (Critical Behaviors and Adaptive Behavior) to capture more severe or home-specific behaviors (e.g., hallucinations, toileting issues).

  • Flexible Administration: Offers paper-based administration and scoring to suit various assessment settings and preferences.
