Behavioral Assessment System for Children (BASC)

The Behavioral Assessment System for Children (BASC) is a comprehensive tool used by psychologists and educators to assess a child's behavior and emotional functioning. It gathers information from multiple sources, like parents, teachers, and the child, through questionnaires. The BASC helps identify strengths and challenges related to behavior, mood, and social skills. This information supports accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and intervention strategies, ultimately promoting better understanding and support for the child's developmental and mental health needs.
