Abstract
(from the chapter) This chapter is an overview of behavioral assessment methods that might be useful in the development and evaluation of interventions for children in the school setting. As such, the authors will review a number of methods, namely, interviewing, screening measures, other paper-pencil inventories, behavioral observation, analogue methods, archival records, and self-monitoring. The chapter will then further address developmental issues as well as issues related to reliability and validity in general. Further, suggestions are made for adaptation of methods for individualized use. One of the hallmarks of behavioral assessment is the idiographic nature of most methods: each can be tailored to specific situation, specific behaviors, and specific children.
