Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC) Profile Forms Ages 3-4

The Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC) is an instrument designed for the assessment of acute and chronic posttraumatic symptoms in children ages 3 to 12 who have been exposed to traumatic events such as child abuse, peer assault, and community violence. It helps caregivers and clinicians gain a better understanding of trauma-related symptoms in young children through a fully standardized and normed caregiver-report questionnaire.

This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates broadband trauma symptom evaluation and allows them to tailor interventions based on comprehensive symptom profiles reported by caretakers.

Benefits:

• Standardized Assessment: The first fully normed trauma measure for young children’s caregivers ensures reliable and valid symptom evaluation.

• Broad Coverage: Captures a wide range of trauma-related symptoms, both acute and chronic.

• Age-Appropriate: Designed specifically for children ages 3-12, addressing developmental considerations.

• Caretaker-Reported: Enables input from those most familiar with the child’s daily behavior in natural settings.

Key Features:

• 90-Item Questionnaire: Comprehensive item set covering multiple trauma symptom domains.

• Caregiver-Completed: Questionnaire is completed by caretakers, who observe the child’s behaviors and symptoms.

• Standardized Norms: Uses normative data for accurate symptom interpretation.

• Wide Application: Suitable for assessing trauma exposure effects including abuse, assault, and community violence.
