It may be is either parent- or self-administered. For each of these categories parents are asked to record the amount of difficulty their child may have.

Acronym
DAWBA

Description
The Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) is a novel package of questionnaires, interviews, and rating techniques designed to generate ICD-10 and DSM-IV psychiatric diagnoses on 5-16-year-olds. Nonclinical interviewers administer a structured interview to parents about psychiatric symptoms and resultant impact. When definite symptoms are identified by the structured questions, interviewers use open-ended questions and supplementary prompts to get parents to describe the problems in their own words. These descriptions are transcribed verbatim by the interviewers but are not rated by them. A similar interview is administered to 11-16-year-olds. Teachers complete a brief questionnaire covering the main conduct, emotional, and hyperactivity symptoms and any resultant impairment. The different sorts of information are brought together by a computer program that also predicts likely diagnoses. These computer-generated summary sheets and diagnoses form a convenient starting point for experienced clinical raters, who decide whether to accept or overturn the computer diagnosis (or lack of diagnosis) in the light of their review of all the data, including transcripts.

IT_SP

Description
A standard method for professionals to measure a child’s sensory processing abilities and to profile the effect of sensory processing on functional performance in the child’s daily life. This profile is designed for children from birth to 36 months and applicable for children with all types of disabilities and severity levels. It is a judgment-based caregiver questionnaire and each item describes children’s responses to various sensory experiences. Certain patterns of performance are indicative of difficulties with sensory processing and performance. When combined with other evaluations, observations, and reports, results of the Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile provide another perspective on the child’s strengths and challenges for diagnostic and intervention planning.
