The Behavior Assessment System for Children
The Behavior Assessment System for Children is a nationally normed set of rating scales that describe the behaviors
and emotions of children. Any score in the Clinically Significant range suggests and high level of maladjustment.
Scores in the At-Risk range may not be severe enough to warrant formal treatment but may require careful
monitoring.
